Netherlands: Court allows Greenpeace case against Energy Transfer over US litigation against NGO to proceed
The Amsterdam District Court has rejected Energy Transfer’s objections to the court’s jurisdiction in a case brought by Greenpeace International in the Netherlands. Greenpeace is seeking compensation and other relief in relation to lawsuits filed by Energy Transfer in the United States against the NGO concerning protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline, which Greenpeace, other civil society organisations and experts have described as SLAPPs. The court has also refused Energy Transfer’s request to suspend the Dutch proceedings until the US litigation is finalised, so the case will now move to the merits stage. The court found that the EU Anti-SLAPP Directive is not yet applicable in Dutch law, meaning the case will proceed under other provisions of Dutch law.
