Debtors involved in the Garlock Sealing Technologies bankruptcy case have responded to the asbestos personal injury claimant committee’s motion to adjourn the debtors’ request for a bar date for current settled asbestos claims, saying that the committee is alone in its arguments, LegalNewsline.com reported yesterday. The debtors, which include Garlock, Garrison Litigation Management Group and The Anchor Packing Company, responded to the committee’s motion to adjourn, arguing that all litigation regarding disputed claims should play out at the same time as the confirmation process rather than delaying the process as the committee requests. The debtors requested a bar date for filing settled Garlock asbestos claims on April 28 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina.
