The U.S. Supreme Court has only agreed to consider one Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan that includes billions in settlement funds and contested release terms, but its decision—affecting the opioid settlement—has the potential to make or break a second mass tort resolution, lawyers said.

Both Purdue Pharma and the Boy Scouts of America have approved plans that release the claims of third parties without requiring those parties’ consent. In both cases, objectors say bankruptcy courts don’t have the authority to approve plans that include that type of release.
