Chevron and other companies argued that the case belongs in federal court.
The Supreme Court ruled 8-0 that a $745 million lawsuit against Chevron moves to federal court.
KEY POINTS
- Chevron's operations were deemed federal due to World War II contracts, justifying federal jurisdiction.
- The ruling could enable more oil and gas companies to shift lawsuits from state to federal courts.
- Restarting the case in federal court may challenge applying Louisiana's 1978 wetlands law retroactively.
