Louisiana Court Rules Bayou Bridge Pipeline Tramples Rights of Landowners
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Louisiana, an appeals court ruled the Bayou Bridge Pipeline Company
"trampled" the rights of landowners by starting construction of the
highly contested pipeline without the permission of the landowners. The
163-mile Bayou Bridge Pipeline is being built by Phillips 66 and Energy
Transfer Partners, which earlier this month was ordered to shut down the
Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota, pending an environmental review.
