What is the deadline for filing a Raytech Claim?
To be eligible for a place in the FIFO Processing Queue, a claim must comply with the following bar dates (the “Bar Dates”): (i) Any claim first diagnosed prior to October 1, 2006 must be filed with the Raytech Trust within one year of the initial claims filing date; and (ii) Any claim first diagnosed after October 1, 2006 must be filed with the Raytech Trust within one year of the initial claims filing date or three years from the date of diagnosis, whichever occurs later. The Initial Claims Filing Date is January 15, 2010. If a claim is not filed with the Raytech Trust prior to the applicable Bar Date, the claimant may seek relief from the Bar Date upon a showing of good cause, which will be determined within the sole discretion of the Trustees. In addition, as to any claims that were time-barred as of the Petition Date, March 10, 1989, the Raytech Trust retains all rights and defenses based on state and federal statutes of limitations and repose.
