Energy Future Holdings Asks District Court to Dismiss Appeal by Asbestos Claimants

Submitted by ckanon@abi.org on
Energy Future Holdings Corp. (EFH) has asked the U.S. District Court of Delaware to dismiss an appeal filed by a group of asbestos personal-injury claimants, calling it “moot” and an “improper attack,” Reuters reported. The appeal filed last month argued that EFH’s bankruptcy confirmation is unlawful because of its treatment of people who had asbestos exposure before the 2014 bankruptcy filing but had not filed a claim by Dec. 14, 2015, because they were not yet sick.
