Environment - Rhode Island's Massive Lead Paint Tort Case
The ILB has had a number of entries on lead paint and on the Rhode Island suit - see the list here.
For even more, see this Findlaw column by Anthony J. Sebok, a professor at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, dated May 20th, that begins:
Last week, hundreds, if not thousands, of Wall Street analysts, business journalists and lawyers listened, either in person or via webcast, to a fascinating, historic four-hour oral argument at the Rhode Island Supreme Court. The argument concerned whether the lead paint industry will have to pay up to $2 billion to remove lead paint from 180,000 homes in the state. (Interested readers can find the webcast here.)In this two-part series of columns, I will discuss the core legal issue at the heart of the appeal.
