Exxon Mobil, Suncor Energy were rebuffed by the U.S. Supreme Court in their attempts to move the venue of climate change lawsuits. Read on.
In that 7-1 ruling, the justices concluded that a federal appeals court had not correctly analyzed whether a lawsuit filed by the city of Baltimore against companies including BP PLC, Chevron and Exxon should be heard in federal court.
Those cases included one filed in 2018 by the city of Boulder and by Colorado’s San Miguel and Boulder counties accusing Exxon and Suncor of exacerbating climate change by concealing and misrepresenting the dangers associated with burning fossil fuels. The oil companies have denied the allegations and have sought to move the lawsuit to federal court, saying the local governments had made their allegations under state law “to conceal the federal character of their claims in state garb.”
