After a five-month stay paused all Child Victims Act (CVA) cases in Baltimore City Circuit Court, litigation for 1,400+ pending claims is now moving forward again.

Judge Carrión, Wray remarked, “clearly took the time and underwent a thoughtful process (and) put together a framework that really balances judicial economy while recognizing the importance of moving these cases forward.”
He added that he expects discovery and pretrial motions in most cases to conclude within a year, with trial dates set promptly thereafter. “In the meantime,” Wray said, “I’m optimistic that both plaintiffs and defendants engage in good faith settlement discussions along the way.”
