International law firm Pogust Goodhead has filed a lawsuit against Repsol in The Hague. It gathers the signatures of 34,000 affected people and demands compensation of 1,272 million dollars.

Tom Goohead, director of the United Kingdom-based firm, visited the damaged beaches, north of Lima, on a couple of occasions. “The field work carried out by our teams in the affected areas was not limited to collecting signatures. The scope of this work was carried out in order to collect information relevant to the demand,” he notes.
