Trane Technologies Subsidiaries to Remain in Texas Two-Step Bankruptcies

Dec. 29, 2023 2:04 pm ET|WSJ ProA bankruptcy judge is allowing U.S. affiliates of Irish air conditioning manufacturer Trane Technologies to remain in bankruptcy, denying a request from asbestos-injury claimants to dismiss the cases created through a controversial strategy known as the Texas Two-Step. Judge J. Craig Whitley of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Charlotte, N.C. issued his decision Thursday, rejecting the request to dismiss the chapter 11 cases. Trane placed subsidiaries Aldrich Pump and Murray Boiler under bankruptcy in June 2020 to handle about 90,000 asbestos-related lawsuits. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
