Arizona objects to “stay of litigation” against Purdue Pharma and Sacklers
“If forced to bear the risk of adverse money judgments, the related parties may be unwilling — or unable — to make the billions of dollars of contributions contemplated by the settlement structure,’’ Purdue said in a filing last month.
Purdue Pharma has suggested in court filings that protecting the family from lawsuits is a vital component of the settlement. Purdue Pharma has asked the bankruptcy court to temporarily block thousands of lawsuits against Purdue and the Sackler family as a condition to allow the settlement to progress. It has said in court filings the Sackler family may walk away from the deal if it is not protected from the litigation.
