雪佛龙引用厄瓜多尔的不当行为的新实例

Court Provided With Evidence That Author of $27 Billion Damage Assessment Has Violated Ecuadorian Law and Irrevocably Tainted the Current Proceeding

加利福尼亚州圣拉蒙，2009年2月12日 - Chevron公司（纽betwayapp下载约证券交易所）利益。在其与法院提交的情况下，雪佛龙文件在评估中宣布的基本缺陷的一致意见，表明报告作者的客观和独立性得到了完全妥协，使报告不予受理。

该报告于2008年11月向省级法院提出，建议在持续的环境诉讼中的法官评估超过270亿美元的损失，增强了早期报告，其中建议提出8亿美元的损害赔偿金。该报告由法院任命的人，Richard Cabrera准备，旨在回应对他早先报告的批评。相反，Cabrera的更新文件提供了没有新的事实或数据;相反，他只是采用原告的律师的要求 - 在某些情况下，单词 - 在新涉嫌损害中证实超过110亿美元。

“Cabrera先生对科学，透明度和厄瓜多尔法律的不可否认的蔑视判断，他不能被视为对法官的一个无偏见的顾问，”雪佛龙的一般律师Charles James表示。“通过他持续与受益于这一诉讼的缔约方的合作，我们相信Cabrera先生故意抛弃了对法院的义务，并承担了倡导原告的律师的作用。”

Chevron has shown Cabrera's first report contains fabricated evidence, indefensible theories and, in some instances, even gross mathematical errors. Despite an awareness of these fundamental defects, Cabrera's amended assessment makes no effort to correct any prior mistakes and introduces a new series of egregious errors, such as:

  • Recommending more than $9 billion in damages associated with "excess cancer deaths" without identifying a single victim, let alone providing any corroborating documentation such as a death certificate or a medical diagnosis.
  • Recommending more than $3 billion in damages associated with groundwater contamination even though his own data clearly indicate no such contamination exists, and Cabrera acknowledges that he has no basis for devising a remediation plan or developing a cost estimate. Rather, Cabrera simply adopts plaintiffs' counsel's demands to assess damages and repackages them as fact.
  • 承认他的工作是在这样一个足总进行shion as to assign blame to Chevron instead of performing an objective and unbiased scientific analysis of current environmental conditions, as the court had ordered.

“关于Cabrera先生出现了一个非常令人不安的模式。法院任命的工作和原告的律师的要求阅读像同一脚本的两部分”，詹姆斯补充道。“很明显，Cabrera先生的报告是为有兴趣利用这一诉讼而毫无责任和完全不成比例的金融意外收获的别事的唯一目的。如果没有除了保护自己的信誉，法院必须在这场闹剧之前进行干预继续进一步。“

理由Cabrera用来证明他的“独立”发达的损害推荐直接来自原告的律师。在许多情况下，Cabrera只是削减和粘贴了原告的归档部分，并将其作为他自己的。例如：

  • On September 16, 2008, plaintiffs' counsel wrote:

    "Therefore该cost analysis to remediate to 1000 ppm of TPH as stated in Attachment N calculates a cost that is lower than the actual one in order to achieve this level of cleanliness (even though it should be taken into account that 1000 ppm of TPH is not adequate level of cleanliness, as previously mentioned). The real cost to remediate the soils to 1000 ppm of TPH is approximately $2,034,000,000."（重点加了）

  • Cabrera于2008年11月26日写道：

    因此，我分析附件中规定的1000ppm的TPH分析，计算成本低于实际的成本，以实现这种清洁度水平（即使它应该被考虑到1000ppm的TPH不是如前所述，适当的清洁度）。使用我的修订后的计算该real cost to remediate the soils to 1000 ppm of TPH is approximately $2,034,000,000."（重点加了）

In addition, Cabrera also declines to explain or deny his apparent connection to representatives of the Amazon Defense Coalition, the financial beneficiary of the lawsuit. Photographs and video demonstrate that members of the Amazon Defense Coalition directly participated in Cabrera's "independent" data collection, and the organization exclusively funded his work.

Moreover, Chevron has provided the court with evidence suggesting that the social survey that provides the evidentiary foundation of one-third of Mr. Cabrera's total damage assessment was produced at the request of and funded by the Amazon Defense Coalition. When asked to testify under oath to explain this relationship, Cabrera refused to show up or to comment, illustrating that the court's "independent" appointee has violated his mandate and is working in collaboration with the plaintiffs' advocates.

在目前在与法院录取的反驳中，雪佛龙对Cabrera报告中的毫无毫无疑问的损害赔偿和拟议的补救措施提供了一种详尽的分析。同时，在过去的提交中，雪佛龙试图在厄瓜多尔驳回案件，引用司法不当行为，在国家的行政部门的情况下干涉，否认宪法保障公平审判权。
