21-66-6. Grounds for stay of action.

A court shall stay an asbestos action if the court finds that the plaintiff has failed to make any disclosure required under this chapter within one hundred twenty days before the trial date. If, in any disclosure required under this chapter, a plaintiff identifies a potential asbestos trust claim, the judge may stay the asbestos action until the plaintiff files the asbestos trust claim and provides all parties with any trust claims material for the claim. The plaintiff shall also state whether there has been a request to defer, delay, suspend, or toll the claim against the asbestos trust.
