The order to put legal proceedings against the companies on hold was first granted in early 2019

Three tobacco giants are again seeking to extend an order suspending legal proceedings against them as they negotiate a settlement with creditors in a long-running case involving an order to pay out billions to some 100,000 smokers and their loved ones.
