Greenpeace files an anti-intimidation case against an American fossil fuel pipeline company
Greenpeace filed an anti-intimidation court case against Energy Transfer, which is suing the environmental organization for $300 million in North Dakota, as reported by the Associated Press.
The lawsuit tests a new European Union directive aimed at countering strategic lawsuits against public participation, according to the European Commission.
Greenpeace seeks a Dutch court ruling to declare the U.S. lawsuit a SLAPP and demands damages from Energy Transfer.
Energy Transfer has until July to respond to Greenpeace's suit, according to Greenpeace's legal counsel Daniel Simons.
