BAT Companies Get Five Day Reprieve in Minnesota Case
A Minnesota judge granted a five day stay to British American Tobacco and subsidiaries to appeal an order requiring the turnover of over 2000 confidential documents. The ruling revoked attorney client privilege on documents referencing two former BAT researchers amid a $1.77 billion suit by the state and Blue Cross to recover smoking related illness costs. The defendants argue compelled disclosure causes irreparable harm while contesting an alleged antitrust conspiracy in smoking and health.
