Harrington v. Purdue Pharma L.P., No. 23-124 (slip opinion), Supreme Court of the United States, 27 Jun 2024.
Primary record
we hold only that the bankruptcy code does not authorize a release and injunction that, as part of a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11, effectively seeks to discharge claims against a nondebtor without the consent of affected claimants.
JUSTICE GORSUCH delivered the opinion of the Court.
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE, JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, and JUSTICE KAGAN join, dissenting.
Respondent Purdue Pharma sits at the center of that crisis.
