In a recent development concerning the Astroworld Festival tragedy, Live Nation’s CEO, Michael Rapino, has managed to avoid deposition in the multidistrict litigation. Plaintiffs assert that this avoidance is largely due to Rapino’s position as CEO, which the defendants argue should exempt him from the inconvenience of a deposition. The plaintiffs further contend that Rapino is also seeking to preserve his freedom to travel during this time. This recent turn in the legal proceedings has added another layer of complexity to the ongoing litigation. More details on this can be accessed here.
