Once thought blocked, the long road to a global settlement for victims of Harvey Weinstein got a green light of sorts today in federal court.
A Delaware judge Wednesday allowed attorneys for debtors to start contacting potential Weinstein victims who might want to file claims in the more than two-year-old bankruptcy case of the imprisoned mogul.
The move at a hearing by Judge Mary Walrath in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware unlocked a step in the process. It didn’t address a controversial revised settlement that emerged overnight Tuesday, which was excoriated by attorneys of some victims. That settlement shrank the pot of cash available to victims but also eliminated a payout to reimburse Weinstein’s legal costs.
On the legal costs, “Judge Hellerstein called that obnoxious, and we heard that,” said Paul Zumbro of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, speaking for debtors at the hearing, referring to U.S.
