Weinstein plan approved

New York: A US Bankruptcy Court judge yesterday approved The Weinstein Co’s liquidation plan, which sets aside

$US17 million ($NZ23.7 million) for women who accused cofounder

Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct.

Judge Mary Walrath in Wilmington, Delaware, overruled an objection from a handful of women who are looking to pursue appeals of their claims outside bankruptcy court. — Reuters
