Boulder Court Advances Historic Climate Accountability Case Against ExxonMobil and Suncor

Kevin Hannon, partner at Singleton Schreiber, was recently featured on the city of Boulder County's website. The article provides an overview of the Boulder District Court recently denying dismal motions from ExxonMobile and several Suncor entities, allowing Boulder County and the City of Boulder to proceed with their climate accountability lawsuit. 

“Compensating the injured has been the purview of state common law since Colorado's founding," said Mr. Hannon, adding, "While climate harm is a different context, we are only asking to apply established Colorado common law to hold Exxon and the Suncor entities accountable. It is the defendants who have been asking courts for new legal rules, and we are glad the court rejected that request.”
