| Patrick Juneau with BP Gulf Oil spill claimants |
by Mark Schleifstein
The court-appointed administrator of the multibillion-dollar settlement of private economic and medical claims stemming from the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster and oil spill charged Tuesday that BP's attempts to cut his budget are part of a company strategy to halt the payment of valid claims.
"The point will not be lost to any reasonable observer that 'defunding' the settlement program can have effects almost as devastating as stopping it," attorneys representing Claims Administrator Patrick Juneau wrote in papers opposing BP's attempts to cut $45 million from the office's $131 million fourth-quarter budget.
