BP plc Research Reports
On September 4, 2014, BP plc (BP) issued a statement showing disagreement with the decision taken by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, in relation to an accident and willful misconduct at the Macondo well. The Company plans to immediately file an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. BP believes the finding that says the Company was grossly negligent with respect to the accident and that its activities at the Macondo well amounted to willful misconduct is not supported by the evidence at trial. According to the Company, the law is clear that proving gross negligence is a very high bar that was not met in this case. The Company stated that an impartial view of the record does not support the incorrect conclusion reached by the District Court. The Court has not yet ruled on the number of barrels spilled and no penalty has yet been determined. The court will hold additional proceedings in January 2015, to decide penalty under the Clean Water Act. The full research reports on BP are available to download free of charge at:
