💨 Abstract

A North Dakota jury has ordered Greenpeace to pay $667 million in damages to Energy Transfer, a Texas-based pipeline company, for its role in protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016-2017. The verdict, which includes damages for defamation, trespassing, and conspiracy, was the result of a trial where Energy Transfer accused Greenpeace of paying protesters to disrupt construction and spreading false information about the project.
