In Re: World Trade Center Disaster Site Litigation

Filing 1138

OPINION DISCUSSING METHODOLOGY FOR DISCOVERY AND TRIALS OF SAMPLE CASE #97107: No general plan for over 9,000 cases can be so wise as to be immutable, or so clever as to foresee all possibilities. However, Case Management Order No. 8 was forged with the experience of earlier failures and frustrations, and with full and intensive cooperation of Special Masters and plaintiffs' and defendants' counsel. It establishes a flexible, fair, and efficient plan to move these cases through discovery and to trial in reasonable time. It remains for the parties to act consistently with its provisions to bring about just such results. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein on 2/18/2009) (jmi) Modified on 2/23/2009 (mro).
