As you are aware this spill is currently the subject of litigation and the volume and extent of the spill will be the subject of independent expert testimony in the litigation. You will understand, therefore, why it is not appropriate for us to comment on this estimate at this time. Having heard the independent expert testimony the court will decide what the volume of the spill was. We suggest you might be better to wait for the authoritative view on the volume of the spill and publish at that stage rather than risk misleading the public with Accufacts estimate.
