The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Monsanto in the Durnell case, a decision the company says is good for science, farmers, and industries that depend on regulatory clarity for innovation. The ruling should help significantly contain the Roundup litigation after nearly a decade of legal battles, resulting in the dismissal of current warning-based claims and barring future failure-to-warn claims. Monsanto will continue to pursue final approval of the class settlement and other elements of its multi-pronged strategy to contain the litigation. The company is still reviewing the ruling and will provide a more comprehensive statement shortly.
