Case Name: Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. v. BCL Secure Premises Pvt. Ltd. Civil Appeal No. 14647 of 2025
Forum: Supreme Court
Mass torts and resulting litigation are a reality of life in these United States.
But one of the truly shocking things about mass tort litigation, in recent times, is this:
- judicial delays override the wishes of mass tort victims for prompt payment of negotiated amounts.
A current example of such delays is the Boy Scouts confirmed bankruptcy plan.
Chronology
Here is a short Chronology of the Boy Scouts bankruptcy plan—and the lapse of more than three years since confirmation without a final resolution:
On 11 December 2025, the National Assembly adopted the Law on Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy ("New Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Law"), which will supersede the current Law on Bankruptcy enacted in 2014 ("Bankruptcy Law 2014"). The New Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Law will take effect on 1 March 2026, except for Article 38.3, which addresses the obligations of the tax authority in filing a bankruptcy petition; this provision will take effect on 1 July 2026.
