Verdict Shell court case |
|
A Dutch court has rejected four out of five allegations against Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell over oil pollution in Nigeria's Niger Delta region. But it found a subsidiary of the firm, Shell Nigeria, responsible for one case of pollution, ordering it to pay compensation to a Nigerian farmer. Shell said it was "happy" with the verdict in the landmark case. The case was brought by four Nigerian farmers and Friends of the Earth, which says it is "flabbergasted". The campaign group says it intends to appeal. However, it has welcomed the Dutch court's ruling that Shell's subsidiary was liable on one count. Video Link 1 ; Video Link 2
