Warner v. Lesar, et al. (Shareholder Lawsuit)
Halliburton shareholders filed a lawsuit accusing the company of failing to oversee or prepare appropriately for all risks involved in deepwater energy exploration, drilling and production, including risks relating to the Deepwater Horizon rig at the Macondo well site in the Gulf of Mexico and at the Montara well off the coast of Australia. The shareholders asserted that Halliburton and its executives had breached their fiduciary duties to the company through a systemic lack or failure of health, safety and environment (HSE) internal controls. Specifically, they alleged that their failure to ensure that the company appropriately tested its cement slurry to be sure it was safe for its intended purpose caused the company to sustain damages in connection with the accident that occurred at the Deepwater Horizon rig in April 2010. In July 2012, a proposed settlement was reached in which Halliburton agreed to implement certain HSE control revisions. Halliburton also agreed to pay up to $7,750,000 for plaintiffs’ attorney fees and expenses.
