Special master Louis Freeh found that an official involved in the administration of settled claims over the BP oil spill frequented a New Orleans bar that received $500,000 in oil-spill compensation and mishandled an email regarding the claim, the National Law Journal reports. While Freeh recommended procedural changes, BP wants witness statements and transcripts, NLJ reports. Freeh and plaintiffs lawyers oppose that request.
