Tough Pill to Swallow: Supreme Court Nixes Mass Torts Defendants’ Addiction to Nonconsensual Third-Party Releases is a compelling legal analysis by attorney NallyAnn Scaturro of Sullivan Papain Block McManus Coffinas & Cannavo P.C., published as the lead article in the June 2025 edition of Pratt’s Journal of Bankruptcy Law. The article explores the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision rejecting nonconsensual third-party releases in bankruptcy cases—most notably in Purdue Pharma’s attempt to shield the Sackler family from opioid-related liability. Scaturro breaks down the ruling’s implications for mass tort litigation, future bankruptcy strategy, and the shifting balance of power between victims and corporate wrongdoers.
