US judge orders ExxonMobil to pay nearly $290,000 to plaintiff’s lawyer following botched deposition in lawsuit over company's alleged involvement in human rights abuses in Aceh, Indonesia

"ExxonMobil issued rare penalty in ongoing Indonesian rights case", 20 Apr 2022

Even by the standards of a justice system known for drama, a US court’s latest ruling in a case pitting Indonesian villagers against one of the world’s most powerful oil companies was unusual enough to raise eyebrows.

ExxonMobil has strenuously denied knowing about any abuses by contractors under its supervision...

“We were the victims and we have cooperated throughout the process. Exxon doesn’t want to take responsibility for what they did. We spoke to Exxon’s lawyers at our deposition and told them everything about what happened to us. How can they say now that they don’t remember anything?” [said a plaintiff]...
