        《海洋污染索赔：中国政府 VS 康菲石油》

        广东海建律师事务所代表中国政府部门提起诉讼。康菲石油污染赔偿案为有史以来中国政府和个人提出的最大宗环境索赔案，双方进行了数轮艰苦的谈判。事件起因于美国康菲石油公司早前在渤海湾发生的溢油事故。这起严重的海洋污染事故引起了社会公众和中央政府的高度关注。这起索赔案件受到了广泛关注，复杂程度前所未见，涉及环境法问题、针对政府决定的行政审查和诉讼、数起由企业和个人提起的侵权索赔诉讼，以及违约索赔、由于溢油事故导致停产而引发的劳动争议。这起案件还涉及大量复杂的证据材料收集工作

        此外，由于中国没有类似案件的先例，相关法律规定也存在不完善之处。中国国家海洋局代表国家参与了谈判。这起环境索赔案于4 月27 日画上了句号，赔偿金额达16.83 亿元人民币（约合2.69 亿美元）。

        《China v ConocoPhillips in a sea pollution claim 》

        Guang Yu & Co acted as representative of Chinese government.The Chinese government and ConocoPhillips went into rounds of negotiation to settle the largest environmental claim brought by the Chinese government and individuals to date. This claim arosefrom the US energy company’s oil spill in Bohai Bay, a serious sea pollution incident that drew close attention from the public and the central government.

        This is a very high profile case with unprecedented complexity as it involves environmental law issues, administrative review and litigation proceedings against the government’s decision, several tort litigations brought by companies and individuals for compensation, as well as breach of contractclaims and labour disputes resulting from the suspension of production

        caused by the oil spill. This case also involved complicated work collecting evidence. Relevant regulations were insufficient since there had been no similar case prior to this. China’s State Ocean Administration participated in the negotiations on behalf of China. The environmental claim was settled on 27 April with the payment of RMB1.68 billion(US$269 million).
