It's not exactly rare for the Litigation Daily to hear that the opposing side disagrees with how we characterize a victory in a high-stakes case. But after our Monday story asked whether Seroquel was shaping up to be the mass tort that wasn't, we got an intriguing earful from one of the leading Seroquel plaintiffs' lawyers.
In an e-mail Tuesday, Weitz & Luxenberg partner Paul Pennock wrote that, "far from going away, Seroquel is about to reveal AstraZeneca as one of the worst managers of a mass tort litigation in history." In a follow-up phone call, Pennock told us why he thought we'd missed the big picture.
