The exclusive means of qualifying to participate in the Court Supervised Settlement Program is satisfaction of the requirements of Exhibit 4B, titled, tellingly, “Causation Requirements for Business Economic Loss Claims.” Exhibit 4B lays out in painstaking detail how a claimant demonstrates a loss that is fairly traceable to the spill. The evidence required by Exhibit 4B to establish “traceability” was stipulated and admitted by BP as being sufficient to objectively establish that a claimant’s damages were caused by the spill.
