In an epic legal battle between Chevron and Ecuador over alleged environmental contamination in the Amazon region, a United States district court declared that an Ecuadorian judgment in excess of USD $8.6 billion against Chevron was fraudulent and unenforceable, a decision that was recently affirmed by the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Despite the fraud ruling, the plaintiffs have sought to enforce the Ecuadorian judgment against Chevron in multiple jurisdictions, raising important issues about the differences across jurisdictions in public policy defenses to enforcement of foreign judgments, and the potential cross-border impact of the US judgment, and its recent affirmation by the Second Circuit, on such defenses.
