The Canadian Version Of The Chevron Shakedown Is Officially Dead And Buried

[HOTAIR] Donziger tied up the courts in Canada for years on an effort that showed no prospects for success. He was trying to sue both Chevron (the parent company) and Chevron Canada Limited. But Chevron has no assets in Canada to go after and Chevron Canada Limited is a distinct entity of its own with no ties to the former business in Ecuador. Even if the court had found some sympathy for the fraudulent judgment from the court in Ecuador (they didn’t), there were no assets in Canada to tap.

And now, adding further insult to injury, Donziger’s associates have been forced to agree to pay Chevron’s legal costs for all of these shenanigans. Where he’s going to come up with the money to pay that is a mystery since he’s already looking at millions in debt back in New York that he didn’t seem to be able to cover. And with that, aside from some possible jail time on contempt charges, we may have finally driven the final nail into the coffin of the Great Chevron Shakedown Caper.
