What To Know About The Paraquat MDL [Multidistrict Litigation]

What is the Paraquat MDL (Multidistrict Litigation)?

Paraquat being linked to Parkinson’s, along with further investigations, led to lawsuits filed against the producers of the chemical.

Many cases were consolidated into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois in June 2021.

The defendants in the MDL include:

  • Syngenta
  • Chevron
  • Phillips 66

Multidistrict litigation (MDL) is a special federal legal procedure designed to speed the process of handling complex litigations by consolidating cases and addressing all pretrial procedures in one court.

The chosen district court will oversee discovery and pretrial litigation, ultimately ensuring that consistent rulings follow.

After pretrial proceedings are completed, a few cases that are representative of the issue at hand will be selected for bellwether trials.

Bellwether trials are a small consolidation of lawsuits, taken from the larger group of similar cases in an MDL, to be tried first.

The bellwether trial is essentially a practice run to help anticipate the results of the future similar cases.

The bellwether trial date for the paraquat MDL is set for November 15, 2022.
