On April 17, 2025, Antigua's Supreme Court accepted a claim that identified a core syndicate including notable attorneys and executives, asserting jurisdiction over Caribbean assets and seeking $10 billion in damages for alleged economic wrongdoings. Later, the scope expanded dramatically, with an amended claim filed on September 24, 2025, now seeking over $80 billion and detailing long-term environmental impact losses. This landmark case brings attention to corporate accountability in the Caribbean and asserts the region's rights against influential global entities.
The case draws on a plethora of procedural nuances, emphasizing statutory frameworks like the AG Carbon Act of 2025, and highlights the sovereign narrative of Antigua & Barbuda in the global courtroom. As this legal saga unfolds, it marks a pivotal moment in transnational legal discourse and reveals a broader quest for justice against powerful corporate interests.
