The objections of attorneys who opposed the distribution of nearly $144 million in Avandia attorney fees and costs undertaken for the common benefit of the entire Avandia multidistrict litigation have been resolved, according to the court-appointed master in the case.
Special master Bruce P. Merenstein of Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis said that nine firms had their allocations of the common benefit fund adjusted following the mediation. Merenstein was ordered to conduct mediation of those objections December 13, 2012, by U.S. District Judge Cynthia M. Rufe of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the judge presiding over the Avandia MDL. The mediation was from December 19 until January 16.
