Court Delays Trial in R.J. Reynolds Case
From Bloomberg News
R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings Inc., the second-largest U.S. cigarette maker, must face trial in Illinois on claims it misled smokers about the dangers of “light” cigarettes, a state appeals court ruled, though the trial judge has delayed the case for 90 days.
The appellate court in Mount Vernon, Ill., rejected a request by R.J. Reynolds to postpone the trial until the state Supreme Court rules in a similar case against Philip Morris USA.
