Three plaintiffs suing Boston Scientific in Philadelphia over allegedly defective pelvic mesh have agreed to litigate their cases elsewhere in light of the latest jurisdictional pronouncement from the U.S. Supreme Court.
Last month, Boston Scientific had asked the court to remove any cases pending against it in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, citing the Supreme Court’s recent game-changing decisions in Bristol-Myers Squibb v. Superior Court of California and BNSF Railway v. Tyrrell. But, according to a lead attorney in the litigation, the parties have agreed to litigate the cases in either Massachusetts, where Boston Scientific has its principal place of business, or Delaware.
