The
2011
judgment
against
Chevron
is
one
of
the
biggest
rulings
ever
for
environmental
damage.
The
legal
case
has
spanned
nearly
two
decades
and
is
being
watched
closely
by
multinationals
accused
of
pollution
elsewhere
in
the
world.
Issued
by
an
Ecuadorean
court
in
Lago
Agrio,
the
jungle
region
at
the
heart
of
the
dispute,
the
original
ruling
was
upheld
by
an
appeals
court
in
January
-
but
Chevron
has
appealed
to
Ecuador's
Supreme
Court,
Reuters
reported.
Since
Chevron
no
longer
has
assets
in
Ecuador,
the
plaintiffs
are
trying
to
get
the
ruling…
