Dutch court agrees to hear Greenpeace lawsuit against US energy company
A Dutch court has agreed to hear a lawsuit filed by Greenpeace against the US energy company Energy Transfer. The case stems from a $345 million award against Greenpeace related to protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline. Greenpeace argues that the North Dakota lawsuit is an attempt to silence free speech and harm its reputation.
- ▪Judges in Amsterdam rejected Energy Transfer's request to dismiss Greenpeace's complaint.
- ▪Greenpeace filed the lawsuit to challenge a jury's decision in North Dakota that found them liable for damages.
- ▪The court determined it has jurisdiction because Greenpeace is headquartered in Amsterdam.
