The UK Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that it was too late for Nigerian claimants to file a lawsuit against two Shell l companies over an offshore oil leak from 2011, which they allege had a terrible long-term effect on the coastal region where they reside.
The lawsuit is related to the estimated 40,000 barrels of crude oil that leaked on December 20, 2011, as an oil ship was being loaded at Shell’s Bonga oil field, 120 kilometers off the southern Niger Delta coast of Nigeria.
