Dutch appeals court rules Shell Nigeria unit responsible for oil leaks

Fri, 29th Jan 2021 10:22

AMSTERDAM, Jan 29 (Reuters) - A Dutch appeals court on
Friday said that the Nigerian subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell
was responsible for oil pipeline leaks in the Niger
Delta and ordered it to pay unspecified damages farmers.

The decision went a step further than a 2013 ruling by a
lower court, saying that Shell's Nigerian subsidiary was
responsible for multiple cases of oil pollution.
