Ecuadoreans sued Chevron Corp. in Canada seeking to seize company assets there to enforce an $18 billion damage award they won in a lawsuit in Ecuador over pollution from oil operations in the Amazon basin.
Chevron refuses to pay the damages and has no assets in Ecuador, lawyers for the Amazon residents said in documents filed today in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto.
