Judge approves $20BILLION settlement over 2010 BP oil spill in the biggest ever environmental pay out in US history. A New Orleans federal judge granted final approval Monday to an estimated $20 billion settlement over the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, resolving years of litigation over the worst offshore spill in the nation's history.
BP has reached an $18.7bn (Â£12bn) settlement with the US Department of Justice (DoJ) following the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. It comes as a US federal judge was expected to rule on how much BP owed in Clean Water Act penalties following the environmental disaster.
