Executive Summary

The court declined to lift the stay in a multi-defendant lawsuit involving Balchem, citing the ongoing bankruptcy of co-defendant Cosmed Group and the extension of the automatic stay to non-debtor defendants. This keeps the litigation on hold, delaying potential liability for Balchem.
