On July 9, Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein entered an order extending the exclusive periods in the BSA’s Chapter 11 case by 120 days, giving the organization until October 15, 2020 to file a plan of reorganization and December 15, 2020 to solicit votes to accept such plan.
The extended exclusive periods provide additional time for the BSA, representatives of abuse survivors, insurers and other key constituencies to develop a global settlement of abuse claims through a consensual plan of reorganization. These efforts are now underway with the active assistance of the Court-appointed mediators.
