Greenpeace sues US energy group in test of new EU freedom of speech rules - Financial Times

Quick Summary:

In December Greenpeace settled a lawsuit brought by Shell that the campaign group estimated would have led to it facing more than $11mn in damages and legal costs.

Daniel Simons, senior legal counsel at Greenpeace, said that the lawsuit, if successful, “will send a message to corporate bullies that the age of impunity is ending”.“That would be a boost for civil society in the EU and point to solutions for those battling the Slapps phenomenon elsewhere,” he added.

Greenpeace is hoping its lawsuit in the Netherlands will insulate it against any potential losses in the North Dakota case, which could bankrupt its US operations and deter individuals from exercising their right to freedom of speech under the US constitution.
