- BP deserves the right to have an appeals court review some damage claims awarded under the settlement to compensate people and businesses harmed by the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the U.S. appeals court in New Orleans ruled today.
- The court said BP did not expressly waive its right to appeal various claims determinations made under the 2012 settlement; BP argued that rules adopted by the federal judge who oversees the settlement compromised that right.
