WaMu shareholders fight for document production
June 3, 2010 With renewed talk of an examiner, a WaMu attorney on Thursday
withdrew a motion to establish discovery procedures in the case and
said he would be willing to meet with parties wanting information.
The proposal came after an attorney for shareholders said
Washington Mutual is stonewalling efforts to obtain information
about the largest bank failure in U.S. history and a proposed
settlement of resulting lawsuits.
The judge told attorneys to meet and try to resolve their
differences before a June 17 hearing.
