Court reopens case against GM even though plaintiffs had agreed to settlement

Last July I reported on an attempt to re open a case against GM based on an allegation that the plaintiffs would not have settled had they known that the GM witness lied during discovery and that the company covered it up.  As I said back then, Courts are usually reluctant to reopen lawsuits once they are settled but in this case the available documents helped the plaintiff's argument.  And last week, the court did authorize reopening the case.  Go to AboutLawsuits.com for more details.
