Northern Mariana Islands.- A group of former Imperial Pacific International (IPI) workers who\u00a0sued the casino operator for discrimination<\/a>\u00a0have filed a motion seeking\u00a0to modify the automatic stay on legal proceedings arising from the casino operator’s bankruptcy proceedings.

Miller <\/strong>aims to allow\u00a0the US District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands\u00a0to proceed with deliberation on damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00d6zcan Gen\u00e7, Hasan G\u00f6k\u00e7e and S\u00fcleyman K\u00f6\u015f filed a lawsuit against the Saipan casino operator four years ago.

They emphasise that their request is limited to obtaining a judgment and does not include any efforts to enforce it. They seek US$1.08m in compensation for financial losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See also:<\/strong> IPI creditors push for assets sale<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In April, IPI filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code<\/a>.
