Plaintiffs challenge GCCF's OPA compliance filed in BP oil spill MDL | Louisiana Record: "A motion filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana claims that the Gulf Coast Claims Facility (GCCF) fails to comply with the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) in how it administers payments to victims of the 2010 BP oil spill.
Filed by attorneys in the plaintiff steering committee (PSC) in the massive multidistrict litigation (MDL) surrounding the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion and oil spill, the suit claims BP uses 'coercive' tactics when dealing with claimants seeking compensation through the GCCF.
The motion asks the U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, who is overseeing the MDL, to appoint a special master to ensure BP and the GCCF are OPA compliant."
