Following the lead of the Federal Court ordered mediation in the Yaz/Yasmin litigation, the Pennsylvania state court judge has entered a similar order.
Judge Moss, who is managing thousands of cases in Philadelphia state court, required mediation in an order published on January 6, 2012. Judge Moss’s order comes just one week after a federal judge entered a similar order.
Both judges appointed Professor Stephen Saltzburg of George Washington School of Law, Washington D.C., to assist in the mediation.
Plaintiffs are hopeful that this is good news for women across the country who have been injured by Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella birth control pills and they are hoping that this mediation paves the way for a global Yaz settlement.
The parties have been ordered to negotiate in good faith, but this does not mean that they will be able to come to an agreement.
