SAN FRANCISCO, January 30, (THEWILL) – Shell's parent company cannot be held liable for oil spills in the Niger Delta, says Dutch Court.

However, Shell's subsidiary in Nigeria is partly liable for damages and will pay compensation to one farmer, the court ruled Wednesday.

Four Nigerian farmers had sued Shell for polluting and destroying their farmlands and rivers.
