Book excerpt: The history of insolvency schemes as mass tort resolution devices is generally said to begin with the asbestos bankruptcies of the 1980s. This Article brings to light a much earlier example of the resolution of mass tort claims through another insolvency scheme -- the equity receivership -- that was a precursor to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Article recounts the creation of a receivership after a fire at the Ringling Brothers circus killed and injured hundreds of spectators. It also describes the maneuvers of the key actors in the case and the legal landscape that explained their resort to a receivership instead of traditional civil litigation. The Article presents the Ringling Brothers case as more than a piece of historical trivia. The case raises a number of puzzles, most notably its success. While modern mass tort bankruptcies are criticized for a variety of perceived flaws, the Ringling Brothers receivership was widely praised. The Article considers a model of mass tort insolvency schemes as public law litigation in order to explain the different fates of the Ringling Brothers receivership and the modern mass tort bankruptcy.

Download or read book Mass Torts in a World of Settlement written by Richard A. Nagareda and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional definition of torts involves bizarre, idiosyncratic events where a single plaintiff with a physical impairment sues the specific defendant he believes to have wrongfully caused that malady. Yet public attention has focused increasingly on mass personal-injury lawsuits over asbestos, cigarettes, guns, the diet drug fen-phen, breast implants, and, most recently, Vioxx. Richard A. Nagareda’s Mass Torts in a World of Settlement is the first attempt to analyze the lawyer’s role in this world of high-stakes, multibillion-dollar litigation. These mass settlements, Nagareda argues, have transformed the legal system so acutely that rival teams of lawyers operate as sophisticated governing powers rather than litigators. His controversial solution is the replacement of the existing tort system with a private administrative framework to address both current and future claims. This book is a must-read for concerned citizens, policymakers, lawyers, investors, and executives grappling with the changing face of mass torts.
