BP wins $10m damages after buying contaminated oil from Russia – The National

Energy company BP has won damages of $10m after it was delivered contaminated oil from Russia by commodity trading company Glencore Energy UK.

BP had taken the case to London's High Court to recover losses it suffered after the trader delivered it tainted oil from Russia.

Mrs Justice Moulder ruled that Glencore had failed to uphold its warranty of quality when it sold the oil to BP.
