Horizon Requests Extension for Case Selection
On March 13, 2024, lawyers representing Horizon in the Tepezza lawsuit filed a request to the MDL judge seeking a two-month extension for selecting four lawsuits related to Tepezza hearing loss for early bellwether discovery and potential trial preparation. The company cited the ongoing review of medical records as the primary reason for needing more time to identify the most suitable cases for this process.
The request for an extension is part of a broader trend where defendants seek to slow down the pace of litigation. However, plaintiffs argue that pushing forward with the case is crucial to reaching a Tepezza settlement.
