GEORGETOWN, Guyana, May 7, CMC – The Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of ExxonMobil Guyana Limited and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), overturning a 2023 High Court decision by Justice Sandil Kissoon regarding financial assurance requirements tied to ExxonMobil’s offshore petroleum environmental permit.
In the original ruling, Kissoon found that ExxonMobil had breached its environmental permit by failing to provide adequate financial assurance for potential environmental damage. He also held that the EPA had failed in its statutory responsibilities by accepting what he deemed insufficient coverage.
