Chevron Wins Halt to $18 Billion Judgment in Ecuador Pollution Case | Common Dreams

NEW YORK - In a New York courtroom yesterday, oil giant Chevron Corp. won a halt to enforcement of an $18 billion judgment for oil pollution of the Ecuadorian Amazon imposed by a court in Ecuador.

Granting Chevron's request for a preliminary injunction, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled in Manhattan that Chevron faced "imminent" and "irreparable" harm to its reputation and business relationships.

...no, you will never get a deal like this for yourself.
