The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to block payments BP PLC is required to make to businesses demanding compensation for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill as the company fights a lower court ruling.
The high court rejected the company’s emergency application, filed on May 28 after the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals lifted an injunction that had prevented payments being made while the case was being decided.
BP spokesman Geoff Morrell said the company still plans to seek Supreme Court review of the appeals court ruling on the overall case.
"The company continues to believe that the lifting of the injunction suspending the payment of business economic loss claims will allow hundreds of millions of dollars to be irretrievably scattered to claimants whose losses were not plausibly caused by the Deepwater Horizon accident," he added.

It's not like that refinery they bought and let blow up down in Texas didn't prove they were negligent.
That flag image has been on the net for a long time. But this time I found it under a piece blaming Obama and the BLM for the whole thing, saying it was a 'false flag.' I broke a nail yesterday. Obama's fault.
Maybe BP will jump headlong into the rabbit hole, like the Bundys and the rest of the klan. Then use the insanity defense.
