Topic: Exxon Building Houston


  
 Exxon Valdez oil spill
Exxon sent it back to court, to be considered in regards to a recent supreme court ruling in a similar case, resulting in Judge Holland actually upping the punitive damages to $4.5 billion, plus interest.
The Exxon Valdez damages assessment is also important in that it was the first which assessed the existence value of the environmental resource in question, an assessment which was done through the use of contingent valuation techniques.
On an interesting note, it turns out that Exxon made a secret written agreement with a group of fish processing companies (known as the Seattle Seven), in which Exxon paid them $63.75 million in exchange for receiving almost all of their portion of the punitive proceeds from them (about $750 million), should the plaintiffs prevail.
