HOUSTON, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- British energy company BP said it wanted a Louisiana court decision the company was negligent in the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico reviewed.
A district court in Louisiana ruled in September that BP's activities at the Macondo well beneath the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico amounted to willful misconduct. In its 152-page ruling, the court found a series of BP failures at the well "created the catastrophic situation" that lead to the 2010 spill.
