| July 15, 2010 | | Appeals Court Limits Film Footage Turnover Order in Chevron v. Berlinger (Rainforest) Case
Late yesterday, a three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit modified a lower court order that had required our client, the award-winning documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger, to turn over all of his raw film footage from CRUDE to Chevron Corp. The lower court order would have required Berlinger to produce more than 600 hours of raw film footage. Under yesterday’s appeals court order, Berlinger would produce only unused footage that falls into three narrow categories. While we await the appeals court’s formal legal opinion on the journalist’s privilege, the interim order substantially limits Judge Kaplan’s over-reaching decision and places restrictions on Chevron (i.e., the company may not use any footage we ultimately produce in their PR efforts). The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, Law.com, The New York Law Journal and The Wrap covered the story here, here, here, here, here and here. |
