Enbridge Found Liable For Trespass
Enbridge liable for pipeline trespass
ENB A U.S. appeals court found Enbridge liable for trespass for running a pipeline under Land belonging to a Northern Wisconsin tribe, but gave the Canadian energy company more time to reroute the pipeline and ordered a recalculation of damages.
Thursday's decision by the 7th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago addressed appeals from a federal district judge's June 2023 order that Enbridge pay the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians $5.15M in restitution plus an additional sum for ongoing trespass, and move the pipeline within three years.
