Oil Spill Compensation - U.S. and China

These are the powerpoint slides  prepared for my May 2013 trip to China.  The focus is on on the frustrations of Chinese aquaculturists who were stymied by the courts there and so resorted to suing Conoco Phillips in Houston where its world headquarters are located.  The reference point is, of course, the BP Gulf Oil Spill comepsnaiton scheme.  Developed under the Oil Pollutions Act, the matter was largely resolved through a class action settlement managed by Judge Carl Barbier, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana. -  GWC
