North Dakota Judge Slashes Greenpeace's Damages to $345M
A North Dakota judge has significantly reduced the amount Greenpeace owes to Energy Transfer. The new figure stands at about $345 million, a substantial decrease from the initial $667 million ordered by a jury in March. Judge James Gion reviewed the case and reduced the damages claim by over half. His decision was based on insufficient evidence to support the full amount requested by Energy Transfer. The judge also considered the principle of proportionality in the case. This move comes after a jury's initial ruling that held Greenpeace liable for $667 million in damages. The reduced amount, approximately $345 million, is now what Greenpeace owes to Energy Transfer. This decision reflects the judge's assessment of the evidence and commitment to fairness in the case.
