On March 17, 2025, in Los Angeles, a court hearing took place where attorneys for plaintiffs discussed Southern California Edison's (SCE) responsibilities for providing evidence related to inspections of power lines implicated in the Eaton fire. With over 130 lawsuits filed against SCE, the session was aimed at determining protocols for evidence sharing, such as photographs and electrical testing. Discrepancies arose over the timeline for SCE to deliver inspection results, which the plaintiffs deemed critical for preserving evidence linked to the fire’s ignition.
Attorney Howard Maycon stated that Southern California Edison plans to provide evidence from power line inspections four days post-inspection, but the schedule raises concerns about the evidence's integrity.
During a court hearing, Judge Laura Seigle emphasized the importance of a streamlined process for sharing evidence, stating, 'We need to ensure all parties have the information they need in a timely manner.'
