  • The defendant in one of Philadelphia’s mass torts urged the Superior Court to permit an appeal addressing Pennsylvania’s consent by registration statute.
  • Syngenta asserted that appellate review is necessary to clear up uncertainty following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the statute.
  • The company claimed that the ruling would determine the appropriate jurisdiction for nearly 90% of the plaintiffs in Philadelphia’s Paraquat mass tort.

A defendant in one of Philadelphia’s largest mass tort programs is urging the state Superior Court to address uncertainty left by the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling on Pennsylvania’s consent by registration statute.

North Carolina-based Syngenta Crop Protection argued in an April 26 filing that a flurry of new lawsuits in the Philadelphia mass tort over weedkiller Paraquat “confirms the urgent need for clarity concerning the constitutional and jurisdictional questions left in Mallory’s wake.”
