Judge Denies Sable Offshore's Lawsuit
A Santa Barbara County Superior Court judge has denied Sable Offshore's request for financial damages against the Coastal Commission.
Sable Offshore, a Houston-based company, had filed a lawsuit in February seeking approximately $347 million in damages and declaratory relief.
The lawsuit was in response to the Coastal Commission's issuance of notices and orders that temporarily halted pipeline work along the Gaviota Coast, necessary to restart oil production.
The company has vowed to appeal the ruling.
