The Supreme Court, as part of its July 19, 2012 Omnibus Rule Amendment Order, has amended Rule 4:38A so as to replace the previous “mass tort” terminology with “Multicounty Litigation” (or “MCL”) terminology, effective September 4, 2012. The Court also approved conforming amendments to the procedures for the centralized management of cases covered by this rule; Directive No. 08-12 (“Multicounty Litigation Guidelines”), dated August 7, 2012, thus will supersede Directive No. 07-09 (“Revised Mass Tort Guidelines) as of September 4, 2012. Similarly, the Mass Tort Information Center on the Judiciary’s Internet website (njcourts.com) will become the Multicounty Litigation Information Center.
Glenn A. Grant, J.A.D.
Acting Administrative Director of the Court
