Toxic Justice: S.C. Supreme Court Sets Oral Argument In Asbestos Receivership Fight
[]

At stake in these multi-million dollar deliberations is whether the “toxic” receivership model that has anchored South Carolina’s asbestos docket for more than a decade can legally stand.
***In unusually direct language, the Supreme Court made clear the scope of what it intends to examine at oral argument.
They contend that allowing the receivership to continue would place South Carolina courts in direct conflict with rulings from courts in the United Kingdom, Canada, France, and the federal system.
A ruling that reins in the receivership could upend years of sealed settlements, fee arrangements, and jurisdiction-expanding orders that have defined the asbestos docket.
