remington gun company going out of business

“Remington has treated discovery as a game,” the families’ lawyers said.

Supreme Court is back in trial court after Remington’s bankruptcy, with jury selection scheduled for September.įor the moment, the families’ attorneys want a court order compelling Remington to abide by its agreement to turn over all the marketing data they’ve requested. The families’ lawsuit, which has been thrown out of state Superior Court, reinstated by Connecticut Supreme Court and turned down for review by the U.S. A federal bankruptcy judge assured the Sandy Hook families that some of the sale proceeds would be dedicated to keeping the gunmaker’s insurance intact. Remington made national news last summer when it declared bankruptcy for the second time in two years and was sold for $159 million to Fairfield-based Sturm Ruger and six other companies. We reviewed hundreds of pages of police reports, criminal case filings and court data related to intimate partner violence in Connecticut. “(Remington) will respond to this motion in the coming weeks, and point out what it believes are incorrect representations, numerous half-truths, and important omissions by (families’) counsel,” Remington lead attorney James Vogts said Tuesday. Reached on Tuesday for comment, Remington’s lead attorney did not respond specifically to the cartoons, some of which the families submitted to the judge - including images of Santa, a farmer, a weightlifter, and a bowl of ice cream. But the company agreed in the class action settlement, reached in 2014, to replace the triggers on millions of guns. “When the seemingly random cartoons, images, videos, duplicates, and other items noted are accounted for, Remington, it would seem, has spent the better part of seven years producing 6,606 potentially useful documents in response to the plaintiffs’ requests,” the court complaint reads. Remington has always maintained that the guns are safe and free of defects. The complaint, the latest in the 7-year-battle by the Sandy Hook families to hold accountable the maker of the AR-15-style rifle used in the 2012 shootings, does not allege that all 46,000 documents turned over by Remington are irrelevant.
