marketing practices of opioid based drugs

​

Motion to disclose documents prior to a derivative action on behalf of Teva, an Israeli public company, traded in TASE and NYSE. According to the motion, which was filed in April 2019, Teva and its subsidiaries face liability in substantial amounts due to marketing practices of opioid based drugs in the US. The applicant claims that Teva's liability might be a result of Teva's board and executive officers failure to reasonably supervise the marketing of these dangerous drugs.

On February 2020 the district court decided to stay the proceedings were stayed, due to parallel proceedings in the United States.

On May 2024 the parties readched a settlement agreement, according to which the insurers will pay Teva a sum of NIS 40 million. This amount includes a reward to the applicants and attorneys fees.

Status: Motion to approve the settlement is pending.
