The order will help to restore traditional principles of due process in asbestos cases by ensuring that they are resolved on the basis of their individual merit; and that they do not serve merely as leverage to the resolution of other cases. The order would advance the interests of the most seriously ill asbestos plaintiffs, whose interests have not always been well-served by the present system. There was dissent calling the order ill-advised as it virtually ensures that justice will be so delayed for many diseased plaintiffs that they will never live to see their case. (Business Insurance)
