BP, Anadarko Put Macondo Blame Onto Transocean in Legal Imbroglio

摘要

In the latest attempt to cut its financial losses over the Macondo disaster, BP and its 25% well partner Anadarko have filed an appeal claiming that only Transocean is liable for any violations of the Clean Water Act. This latest volley in the ongoing legal melee over the 2010 Macondo disaster was filed in the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. In their filing, their argument hinges on a single word "or" and how it is used in one specific section of the Clean Water Act.
