SLAPP Lawsuit

Greenpeace International Uses First EU Anti-SLAPP Directive

August 3, 2024 Greenpeace International. , , ,
Amsterdam, Netherlands — Greenpeace International pushed back today against a meritless, US $300 million lawsuit from US-based fossil fuel company Energy Transfer by sending a Notice of Liability to its headquarters in Dallas, Texas. The Notice of Liability informs Energy Transfer (ET) of Greenpeace International’s intention to bring a lawsuit against the company in a Dutch Court to recover all damage and costs it has suffered as a result of the SLAPP suit, unless ET withdraws its case and accepts responsibility for the harm Greenpeace International has suffered.[1]  The Notice of Liability marks the first application of the new European Union anti-SLAPP Directive.
