Book Synopsis Mass Torts in a World of Settlement by : Richard A. Nagareda
Download or read book Mass Torts in a World of Settlement written by Richard A. Nagareda and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional definition of torts involves bizarre, idiosyncratic events where a single plaintiff with a physical impairment sues the specific defendant he believes to have wrongfully caused that malady. Yet public attention has focused increasingly on mass personal-injury lawsuits over asbestos, cigarettes, guns, the diet drug fen-phen, breast implants, and, most recently, Vioxx. Richard A. Nagareda’s Mass Torts in a World of Settlement is the first attempt to analyze the lawyer’s role in this world of high-stakes, multibillion-dollar litigation. These mass settlements, Nagareda argues, have transformed the legal system so acutely that rival teams of lawyers operate as sophisticated governing powers rather than litigators. His controversial solution is the replacement of the existing tort system with a private administrative framework to address both current and future claims. This book is a must-read for concerned citizens, policymakers, lawyers, investors, and executives grappling with the changing face of mass torts.

Download or read book Mass Torts in Europe written by Willem H. van Boom and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: in recent years, there has been a growing interest in the legal aspects of mass torts in Europe. Both academics, legislatures, courts and policymakers throughout the whole of Europe have been struggling with the challenges that such ‚massification‘ of private law relationships poses both in and outside of tort law. The subject moves between the law of civil procedure, substantive tort law, access to justice debates and regulatory frameworks for mass disputes. This volume offers both a caleidoscopic review of real-life key cases of mass tort and an in-depth reflection on the broader implications of mass tort in Europe. Thus, the challenges posed by mass torts are explored, mapped and analysed.

Book Synopsis Mass Tort Settlement Class Actions by : Jay Tidmarsh
Download or read book Mass Tort Settlement Class Actions written by Jay Tidmarsh and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of aggregation is uncertain. Recent cases have established limits on class actions as devised for national resolution of mass tort claims. In the evolving world of mass tort litigation, once thing is for certain: lawyers and judges have to ensure that the resolution of these cases is fair to the individual litigants on both sides. For that reason, the analysis of the five settlement class action cases contained herein will continue to be relevant to mass tort litigation - and to other class-action litigation - no matter what twists and turns the ongoing debate may take. Through analysis of five mass tort cases, this monograph explores such questions as: Should discovery be allowed into arguably secret settlement negotiations when the negotiations represent tens of thousands, or even millions of individuals? Should judges conduct proceedings in the nature of trials to review the merits of the proposed settlement? Who should get what kind of notice at whose expense? How should judges assess the adequacy of class representatives and counsel?

Book Synopsis An Administrative Approach to the Resolution of Mass Torts? by : Douglas G. Smith
Download or read book An Administrative Approach to the Resolution of Mass Torts? written by Douglas G. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article contains a review of Professor Richard Nagareda's recent book, Mass Torts in a World of Settlement. Nagareda's premise is that parties have moved away from litigation and toward procedures that are more administrative in nature to resolve mass tort claims and that this move should be facilitated by putting in place a more formal structure to provide an administrative or regulatory solution. However, it is not clear that Nagareda's approach will be feasible in practice. Nor is it clear that it will provide a comprehensive solution to the problems plaguing mass tort litigation. More fundamentally, there are particular aspects of traditional litigation-based resolution of mass tort claims that are important and should not be abandoned. Much of the dysfunction with respect to mass tort claims resolution may be traced to a failure to implement litigation-based procedures, as opposed to being a result of such procedures. Accordingly, a strong case can be made that the traditional litigation-based paradigm should not be abandoned, but rather fortified.

Book excerpt: Commentary and analysis of the Supreme Court's opportunity to grant certiorari review in Amchem Prods. Inc. v. Windsor, to decide issues relating to settlement classes in the underlying Georgine nationwide asbestos futures settlement class. The article places the Georgine settlement in the context of two decades of mass tort litigation, including cases such as Agent Orange, Bendectin, DES, Dalkon Shield, tainted blood products, heart valves, silicone breast implants, lead paint, and tobacco products. Federal courts have struggled with mass tort cases for more than twenty-five years and have experimented with almost every procedural means for aggregating and resolving mass torts. Federal courts disagree on how torts may be resolved in the aggregate; on the suitability of Federal Rules 23 or 42 for adjudicating mass torts, standrads for class certification, and most prominently, the standards for settlement classes. In addition, courts disagree about the due process requirements for mandatory classes, the ability to aggregate damages, and the propriety of polyfurcated trial plans. The appeal in Amchem offers the Court the opportunity to clarify doctrine surrounding many of these issues.

Book Synopsis Models of Closure in Mass Torts by : Lynn A. Baker
Download or read book Models of Closure in Mass Torts written by Lynn A. Baker and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a Comment on Troy A. McKenzie, "The Mass Tort Bankruptcy: A Pre-History", 5 J. Tort Law 59 (2012), which was prepared for "The Public Life of the Private Law: The Logic and Experience of Mass Litigation," a conference at Vanderbilt Law School in honor of the late Richard A. Nagareda.The deadly Harford Circus Fire of 1944 resulted in a pathbreaking settlement that has largely been ignored in the mass tort literature. The tragedy provides a unique window into the many changes since 1944 in the legal representation of mass tort victims and the resolution of their claims. The matter is also a noteworthy example of a pre-Bankruptcy Code resolution of a mass tort through an insolvency scheme. The Comment agrees with McKenzie's claim that the resolution of hundreds of fire-related personal injury and wrongful death claims against Ringling Brothers was successful (and innovative), but disagrees with both of the explanations he offers for that success. Contra McKenzie, the Comment argues that the smooth resolution of the claims against Ringling Brothers was due to: (1) the absence, rather than the presence, of "public law" elements in the proceedings; and (2) the absence of future claimants and their representatives rather than any significant aspect of the plaintiffs' lawyers' incentives.
