Insys Therapeutics (NASDAQ:INSY) notes that it now has approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for its First Day motions. It received this approval on Tuesday, but only just announced the news today.

This approval will allow the company to move forward with its Insys Therapeutics bankruptcy plans. This marks a move in the right direction for the company as it looks to use the bankruptcy protection to cover its legacy legal liabilities.

With the First Day motions approval, Insys Therapeutics will be able to continue operations throughout the bankruptcy process. This includes it continuing to pay employees for their work. It will also let the company keep paying its vendors.

“This is an important step forward in our court-supervised process, which is intended to fairly and transparently address the Company’s legacy legal liabilities,”  Andrew Long, CEO of Insys Therapeutics, said in a statement. “I would like to thank our team for their continued hard work and dedication as we move forward with our asset sale process.”
