The New York Times: Shell Settles Dumping Suit for $3 Million
Published: February 9, 1995
The Shell Oil Company has agreed to pay $3 million to settle a lawsuit charging that it has been dumping illegal amounts of selenium into San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.
In a settlement filed in Federal District Court here on Tuesday, Shell also agreed to reduce the selenium released in wastewater at its Martinez refinery.
Judge Thelton E. Henderson of Federal District Court had ruled in December 1993 in favor of the California Public Interest Research Group, which argued that the amount of selenium in Shell’s discharges violated Federal law. Arguments on the overall lawsuit had continued after that ruling.

Debrief: DON MARKETING STEPS-UP ITS ATTACK ON SHELL
February 1995
IN A SCENARIO that increasingly resembles the rousing Hook Advertising vs Barclays Bank saga, promotional consultancy Don Marketing is piling the pressure on Shell UK Oil in an effort to obtain redress for alleged theft of its intellectual property [Debrief, 2-113].
Don claims Shell used three of its promotional concepts without authorisation or payment and has taken the unusual step of placing a half-page ad in Forecourt Trader asking Shell dealers if they are “willing to complete a questionnaire which may assist us in our legal actions”.
