Swissair mediation
Mediation by US district judge James Giles is to start in mid-July in 15 lawsuits stemming from the 1988 crash of Swissair
flight 111. These cases have been selected by plaintiff attorneys in the hope of leading to wider settlement of claims. It
is expected to run for about three weeks and other federal judges may be called in to act as mediators.
