[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 548416, member: 13"] A major lawsuit was just settled here last week. Shell had leased land, drilled, and paid royalties to the owners. But the owners found out that they weren't being paid all they had coming, so they sued. Thirteen years later they won a settlement for what they were owed and interest. Plus the jury tacked on big bucks for punitive damages. The defendants are, of course, appealing. They don't dispute that they cheated the people and are willing to pay the actual damages and interest. But they don't think the punitive damages are warranted! For 13 years they've refused to provide documents to the plantiffs, changed law firms, found any way they could to put off the trial, and now they say why should we be punished? You're right that it helps to have a deep pocketbook and a string of attorneys.
