Wall Street Journal – Chevron Turns Tables on Ecuador Plaintiffs; Sues Them
Date: Feb 2, 2011
The crazed litigation between Chevron Corp. and plaintiffs over alleged oil pollution in Ecuador on Monday got just a little bit crazier.
The oil giant turned the litigation upside-down by filing suit against the plaintiffs.
The suit, filed in Manhattan federal court, accuses the plaintiffs, their lawyers and other members of their legal team of conspiring to manufacture evidence, intimidate Ecuadorian court officials and withhold evidence from U.S. courts.
