The court when summened LA SAMIR company, this latter reply by a memorandum in which it didn’t admit any responsibility over the damage caused to the earth, yet it denied any ties to the damages and held on to the fact that the accident implied by REDAL has been since 2001 and limited in space, and that (LA SAMIR) with the help of the competent authorities barricaded the sute and cleaned it in accordance with the international standards, so far REDAL did not substantiate that the damages were caused by hydrocarbons from LA SAMIR pipelines. Also, the court was not required to make another legal examination as long as it established from the lega examination done in the first instance that the damages in the farm were caused by a leakage of polluted water from the pumping station managed by REDAL, and so when there is important rain showers, filthy water fills the pumping station until it exceeds its capacity and thus pours filthy water in the surface pipeline through an open nozzle that is impossible to close, and thus pollutes the earth and the wells’ water and therefore responsible.
