The much-anticipated ruling comes ahead of a motion initiated by Defendant Live Nation that requested the Texas Supreme Court in Austinto stay all Astroworld cases for the time being and transfer consolidation of the cases at a later date through the State Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation.
That said, Harris County has its own sophisticated protocol for handling these issues without outside intervention.The only explanation for Live Nation's action is to delay these proceedings and deny the plaintiffs swift discovery, trial, and ultimately justice.
But in light of Live Nation's action, we filed a supplemental motion earlier this week to expedite consideration.
Thankfully, the Board quickly and without a hearing, ordered all the cases to be consolidated and assigned the docket of Judge Kristen Hawkins, who presides over the 11th District Court of Harris County in Houston.
