In Garlock v. Sealing Technologies, LLC, No. 10-31607, slip op, 504 B.R. 71 (Bankr. W.D. N.C. 2014) the matter was before the Bankruptcy Court in connection with a hearing to determine an estimate of Garlock's liability for present and future mesothelioma claims. The Court permitted discovery in 15 cases and found that in connection with Garlock, plaintiffs had withheld evidence of exposure to other products, delayed filing claims with bankrupt trusts, and in four cases, plaintiffs represented that they had not filed any POCs with bankruptcy trusts, when disclosure revealed that such claims had in fact been filed. The court found, based on the evidence before it, that with respect to Garlock and these issues, there was a widespread pattern of abuse in asbestos litigation....As to the statements and conclusions of the Bankruptcy Court in Garlock, the case involved different parties and different issues, was litigated in another jurisdiction, and in a different forum.
