BP: $18 BLN
BP acted with gross negligence and wilful misconduct in the Deepwater Horizon disaster, exposing it to penalties of up to $18bn, a US court has ruled.

The judge's conclusions in the civil case over the spill mean that the UK oil company faces the highest level of penalties under the Clean Water Act, of up to $4,300 per barrel spilled.
