After close to three years of legal wrangling, MBIA and a group of banks will finally fight it out in court come May 14 after a New York State judge set a date for trial.

On Friday, New York Supreme Court Justice Barbara R. Kapnick set May 14 as the date for trial between MBIA and a group of banks that are in dispute over splitting the company in two more than three years ago.
