Dutch Court to Hear Greenpeace Case Against Energy Transfer
An Amsterdam court ruled it can hear a case brought by Greenpeace against Energy Transfer regarding legal disputes over the Dakota Access Pipeline. The court rejected the pipeline company's request to delay the proceedings until related U.S. litigation is finalized.
An Amsterdam court ruled midday that it has jurisdiction to hear a lawsuit brought by Greenpeace International against Energy Transfer. The environmental group is seeking compensation for what it describes as meritless legal actions taken by Energy Transfer following protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline. The ruling establishes a new legal front in the long-standing conflict between energy infrastructure developers and environmental activists.
