Darlington company wins lawsuit against Exxon

Posted: Updated:

From Nexsen Pruet:

DARLINGTON, SC (WMBF) - A legal team secured a $3 million verdict against Exxon Mobil Corporation on behalf of a Darlington company that claimed the global oil giant had illegally conspired to drive it out of the Mobil lubricants business and had wrongfully terminated its distributorship.

At the conclusion of a nearly 4 week trial over which the Honorable James E. Lockemy presided, the jury took less than two hours to reach its decision, which came late Friday night. It included $2 million in actual damages and $1 million in punitive damages for Bristow Oil Company.
