Order Barring Ecuador from Collecting $18 Billion Vacated
"We can now at least dream there will be justice and compensation for the damage, the environmental crime, committed by Chevron in Ecuador."
September 19, 2011 | Associated Press
New York – A federal appeals court vacated an order Monday by a New York judge that barred an $18 billion judgment in Ecuador against Chevron Inc. for contaminating the Amazon. The Ecuadorean plaintiffs blamed the oil company Texaco, a subsidiary of Chevron since 2001, for environmental contamination and illnesses resulting from its operation of an oil consortium from 1972 to 1990 in the country's lush rainforest.
