DutchNews.nl - Shell Nigeria ordered to compensate farmer over pollution: Oil giant Shell's Nigerian subsidiary has been ordered to compensate one Nigerian farmer for damage caused to his farm by oil pollution by a court in The Hague.
Four other claims against Shell International were dismissed by the court, which backed Shell's claim the damage was caused by sabotage, not poor maintenance.
The case was brought by environmental group Milieudefensie on behalf of four Nigerian farmers. It is the first time the Anglo-Dutch multinational has been taken to court in the Netherlands over the actions of a subsidiary in another country.
