The High Court in London today began hearing the latest case against Royal Dutch Shell brought by the London law firm Leigh Day on behalf of Nigerian claimants.
Thousands of farmers and fishermen located in the Niger River Delta region who have suffered from oil spills and related toxic pollution.
Leigh Day approached me last year making “an impassioned appeal” for my help, after first contacting me via Greenpeace.
This is not an unusual occurrence. Many parties contemplating or involved in litigation against Shell contact me after becoming aware of my Shell related website activities and a decades-long history of dealing with Shell, including its army of lawyers (over a thousand) and spooks (Shell Global Security and their external spy firm Hakluyt).
In this case, I was pleased to provide relevant information in various forms, including from Shell related sources. Leigh Day even searched my websites and found a Shell internal document that I did not realise we still had. Not surprising, since we have over 40,000 articles, confidential Shell documents, leaked Shell communications etc., all stored and accessible online.
A potential treasure trove for parties with a deep interest in Shell.
Shell has already settled a similar case for $83.5 million brought by Leigh Day on behalf of other Nigerian claimants.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
