The judge overseeing PG&E's bankruptcy case has ruled that litigation against the utility for its alleged role in Oakland's 2016 Ghost Ship fire can go forward.
In a ruling Tuesday, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Dennis Montali said he wanted families of the 36 people who died in the blaze "to have their day in court."
The ruling, made over PG&E's opposition, means the company could face a pretrial hearing later this week.
