A magistrate appointed in the long running lawsuit brought by Chevron in New York in the aftermath of a $19bn judgment against the company in Ecuador has ruled today that Chevron ceo John S Watson must be deposed by the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the case.
“There is little doubt that Mr. Watson has relevant knowledge,” said Magistrate James Francis, noting that Watson led the company’s merger with Texaco in 2002, well after the suit was filed by indigenous Ecuadorians. Their livelihoods were disrupted by Texaco’s dumping billions of gallons of waste in the Amazon valley.
