- Aguinda v. Texaco, Inc. is a class-action lawsuit against Texaco Petroleum. it was filed in 1993 by Steven Donziger for indigenous collectives in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The lawsuit sought compensation for "alleged environmental and personal injuries arising out of Texaco's oil exploration and extraction operations in the Oriente region between 1964 and 1992." Legal proceedings followed in courts in Ecuador and the United States for about a decade. The case was dismissed on May 30, 2001 on grounds of Forum non conveniens (meaning that the case wasn't in the jurisdiction of US courts and should be heard in Ecuadorian or international courts). Following dismissal of Aguinda v. Texaco in the US, plaintiffs filed Maria Aguinda Salazar v, ChevronTexaco Corp in Ecuador in 2003, which in turn led to other progeny cases including Republic of Ecuador v. ChevronTexaco Corp and Moi Vicente Enomenga Mantohue v. Chevron Corporation and Texaco Petroleum Company. (en)
