New York Times – Lawyer in ‘Crude’ Case Will Have to Testify, Judge Says
Date: Oct 21, 2010
More on the Chevron Ecuador Donziger ruling:
A federal judge in Manhattan has ruled that he will not quash a subpoena from the oil company Chevron seeking testimony from a lawyer depicted in the documentary “Crude,” and that the lawyer will have to give testimony in a case involving the oil giant’s business in Ecuador.
For several months Chevron has been locked in a legal battle with the filmmaker and subjects of “Crude,” a 2009 feature about a group of Ecuadorians who are suing the company, saying that oil fields established there by Texaco (now owned by Chevron) polluted their water supply.
