A significant legal case against major motel chains, including Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Red Lion Hotels Corp., Motel 6 Corp., and The Blackstone Group, among others, has been postponed due to ongoing concurrent human-trafficking proceedings. The plaintiff’s case targets these companies under allegations of participation in a ‘venture’ as defined by the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA).
In response to these charges, the defendants claim the lawsuit fails to convincingly demonstrate their involvement in a TVPRA ‘venture’ or illustrate that they knowingly, or otherwise, benefited from such an endeavor. The postponement of this case allows for a clearer legal landscape surrounding human-trafficking regulations before proceeding with this influential lawsuit.
