“With myriad lawsuits being filed across the country related to the growing problem of defective drywall, a panel of federal judges is now set to decide where all of the cases will be centralized.
The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation — known as the MDL panel — held a hearing in Louisville, Ky., this week on Chinese drywall.
The federal courtroom in Louisville was packed Wednesday with dozens of lawyers from at least a half-dozen states, all of whom had an interest in the seven-judge panel’s ruling, expected in about two weeks.
At issue is which federal district court — and which judge — will be assigned the massive task of centralizing all U.S. cases involving defective drywall.”
