Oil giant Shell suing Greenpeace for £1.7m damages.
Quote:
Shell is suing Greenpeace for $2.1m (£1.7m) in damages after environmental protesters occupied a vessel transporting one of the oil company's floating platforms earlier this year.
Activists boarded the White Marlin ship north of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic in January.
Shell said it was entitled to recover "the significant costs of responding to Greenpeace's dangerous actions".
However, Greenpeace said it planned to contest the action.
The environmental group described it as "one of the biggest legal threats" in its history.
