Shell Offshore, Inc., et al v. Greenpeace, Inc.

 

us-coa-9thThis case stemmed from Greenpeace’s public campaign to stop Shell from driling in the Arctic. Greenpeace appealed the district court’s grant of Shell’s motion for a preliminary injunction, which prohibited Greenpeace from coming within a specified distance of vessels involved in Shell’s Arctic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) exploration and from committing various unlawful and tortious acts against those vessels. The court affirmed the judgment, concluding that the action presented a justiciable case or controversy, that the district court had jurisdiction to issue its order, and that it did not abuse its discretion in doing so.
