via Clarice Feldman ~ FTA:Chevron refused to give in, and now the case may serve as an example of how companies can fight back if they have the nerve and the cash. Mr. Donziger says hell appeal, but on the factual record he stands discredited. Another worthy casualty may be financially strapped Washington law firm Patton Boggs, which got involved on behalf of Burford Capitals BUR.LN +0.43% effort to provide litigation financing to the plaintiffs. Tuesdays opinion means the firm wont collect any plunder, which couldnt happen to a nicer crowd. Mr. Donziger is a pioneer of the foreign environmental tort, trying to exploit Third World juries to bleed U.S. companies regardless of the merits. Were glad to see his dishonesty face American justice.
