CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Legal Newsline) – On Thursday, Bankruptcy Judge George Hodges refused to reopen the estimation proceeding in the Garlock Sealing Technologies bankruptcy case, denying a motion filed by the Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants that challenged his original $125 million ruling.

During the hearing, which lasted well into the afternoon, Hodges concluded that based on the Federal Rules of Procedure, there had to be some misconduct to justify reopening the court proceeding, according to NPR.
