Appeal Delays Settlement in Dupont Water Remediation Case
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has appealed the $1.185 billion settlement approved by the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina in December 2023. This appeal is being contested by plaintiffs, who argue that the Water District waived its right to appeal when it opted out of the original Dupont settlement in December. It’s important to note that the appeal will not affect claims brought by individual firefighters.
