Attorney Larry Jones Travels to Boise, Idaho for BP Oil Spill Hearing
Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones partner Larry Jones traveled to Boise, Idaho this past week to attend the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation hearing to determine the fate of the BP Oil Spill litigation. At the hearing, lawyers for both plaintiffs and defendants argued to the Panel for consolidation of all of the BP cases into one federal court. While the parties agreed that the cases should be consolidated, they did not agree on the location of where the cases should be heard. The defendants were uniformly in favor of Houston, Texas, while the plaintiffs suggested various venues along the Gulf Coast. In my opinion, the case will be transferred to Judge Barbier in the Eastern District of New Orleans.
