In re The Muralo Company, Inc.,

Where thousands of asbestos-related claims throughout the country have been filed against the debtors by plaintiffs, who are represented by 76 attorneys, the debtors' motion to permit service on the attorneys, rather than on the individual plaintiffs, in the debtors' adversary proceeding seeking a declaratory judgment that they are not responsible for the asbestos claims, is granted; in a mass-tort case, the retention of counsel by large numbers of claimants of necessity defines a broad scope of represen
