Bayer: U.S. Supreme Court could decide in June whether it will hear glyphosate case

FRANKFURT, May 13 (Reuters) - Bayer BAYGn.DE said on Tuesday that the U.S. Supreme Court could decide as early as next month whether it will hear the German company's request to sharply limit litigation that could run into the billions of dollars over disputed claims that its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer.

"There are two windows that we could hear (from the court). One is in June, ... or it could happen in October or slightly later," CEO Bill Anderson said in an analyst call after the release of first-quarter results.

"We think the filing went in early enough so that it could happen in the early window. It's hard to say," he added.
