I've commented previously on the much-underestimated power of the common law in battling pollution, including climate pollution. One aspect of British life, reflected and even magnified in the USA, is the fact that corporations may eventually, sometimes, occasionally, get held responsible for their bad actions in a court of civil law.
Elsewhere on this blog I've talked about climate tort cases currently wending their way through the system.
Today's interesting case is Shell, in the Niger delta.
