Description
Summary:International audience Abstract: This chapter shows that there is an inconsistency in the enforcement of compensation claims from Russian injured parties, injured on the Russian side of the Norwegian-Russian sea border by a Norwegian oil company on the Norwegian side of the sea border. This inconsistency puts Russian injured parties in an position where Russian injured parties in an position where Russian injured partiesthey cannot legally enforce compensation claims against Norwegian oil companies (harm-doers) outside of the Russian jurisdiction. Résumé : Ce chapitre montre qu'il y a une incohérence dans l'exécution des demandes d'indemnisation des parties lésées russes, victimes du côté russe de la frontière maritime norvégienne-russe par une compagnie pétrolière norvégienne du côté norvégien de la frontière maritime. Cette incohérence place les parties lésées russes dans une situation où elles ne peuvent légalement faire valoir des demandes d'indemnisation contre les compagnies pétrolières norvégiennes (parties responsables) en dehors de la juridiction russe.
