Three tobacco giants are again seeking to extend an order suspending legal proceedings against them.
The companies sought creditor protection in Ontario after Quebec ’s highest court ordered them to pay more than $15 billion to roughly 100,000 Quebecers in two class-action lawsuits.
The lawsuits involved smokers who took up the habit between 1950 and 1998 and either fell ill or were addicted, or involved their heirs.
