[PDF] Complaint for Damages

This action is about an international petroleum company which lured a California citizen to...relocate to Norway based on knowingly false promises and misrepresentations about the nature and character of her position as a human rights specialist for the company.... [The plaintiff] was promised that her job at Statoil would provide her with the opportunity and ability to ensure that the company respected international human rights norms in its operations and would also offer the potential for career advancement within the company. However, once she relocated to Norway,...[she] learned that...the company never intended to allow her to perform the essential tasks necessary to hold the company to the human rights promises it makes to the international community.
