Lawyers representing plaintiffs made the statement as part of filings made to the US district court in New Orleans. The two sides are battling over an injunction which suspends payment of compensation in disputed cases. BP stands to save billions as a result of the injunction. But the plaintiff lawyers now claim that BP statements were misleading on 64 cases it picked out where compensation was being given but BP said it should not have been. The plaintiffs look at the 64 case and, for instance, says that in 17 of them BP failed to give crucial information to the court. Source: Financial Times
