Abstract

A North Dakota judge has ordered Greenpeace to pay $345 million in damages after finding the environmental group liable for defamation and other claims related to protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline. This amount is a reduction from the original jury award of $667 million to the pipeline company, Energy Transfer, which argued that Greenpeace engaged in a scheme to halt the pipeline's construction. Greenpeace plans to appeal the ruling, asserting that the lawsuit infringes on free speech and the right to protest. The case originated from protests in 2016 and 2017 near the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's reservation and has seen mixed outcomes in terms of claims against Greenpeace entities.
