The US appeal’s court has confirmed the earlier passed decision, according to which British oil and gas corporation BP must continue payment of compensation for oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, reported ITAR-TACC.
BP’s lawyers tried to achieve cancelation of the decision, claiming that conditions of the agreement signed between the company and organizations and private persons in 2012, which suffered a material damage from the accident were misinterpreted.
The oil leak in 2010 has led to the explosion, which took lives of 11 people on the platform. Millions of gallons of oil was spilled into the Gulf, causing the evironmental catastrophe. BP has earlier already paid a fine worth $1.2 billion and Halliburton has voluntarily transferred $55 million to the National Fund for Fish and Rare Animals, reported http://www.baltinfo.ru.--0--
