Paper – 'We All Have Too Much Invested to Stop': Enforcing Chevron in Canada

‘We All Have Too Much Invested to Stop’: Enforcing Chevron in Canada, Nicholas Pengelley, June 24, 2012

  • “Almost 20 years of litigation pursued by indigenous plaintiffs from the rainforests of Ecuador resulted in a judgment of $18.2 billion against oil giant Chevron. That litigation now continues in Canada, where the plaintiffs seek to enforce their judgment against Chevron subsidiaries. The case, likely headed for the Supreme Court, will canvass issues hitherto little litigated in Canada, including the concept of “reverse veil-piercing” and the matters to be considered by Canadian courts when considering allegations of fraud, bias and corruption made against foreign courts.”
