Justice Department asks judge to require BP to produce documents showing how it low-balled oil flow | NOLA.com

by Mark MoseleyJanuary 31, 2013

"Justice Department attorneys want to use the documents during an upcoming civil trial before U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier to prove that BP was "grossly negligent" in its actions to staunch the flow of oil. Proving that claim could mean the company would have to pay billions of dollars more in fines under the Clean Water Act."
