Breaking news in Chevron Ecuador lawsuit…Federal judge in New York grants a temporary restraining order against the collection of any judgment:

Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan cited evidence of an effort to disrupt Chevron’s business in the event there is an award as a reason Tuesday to grant a temporary restraining order against the collection of any judgment.

Sworn testimony: While Texaco met its environmental obligations in the Amazon, #Ecuador’s national oil company did “absolutely nothing” to address its own remediation in the area. #FactsMatter:
