LONDON (Alliance News) - BP PLC has attempted to remove the administrator of compensation payments under its settlement for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, accusing him of a "clear-cut conflict of interest", the Financial Times reported Wednesday.
The FT cited a court filing in which BP said emails had recently been identified revealing Patrick Juneau, the compensation claims administrator, had in the past "advocated vigorously on behalf of individual and business claimants seeking compensation from BP for alleged spill-related injuries".
BP said Juneau's history "taints" the current settlement claims programme, the paper said.
