Oklahoma Supreme Court finds for Firm Clients
In the case of Weber v. Mobil Oil Corporation, the Oklahoma Supreme Court determined that a lower court inappropriately limited the number and type of causes of action that a class action lawsuit could proceed under. This case involves a class of mineral interest owners who were told their interest would be “free and clear of any operating or investment costs.” Thereafter, the class alleges that Mobil applied a formula which deducted sale proceeds causing underpayment of royalties. The class has now been certified and the case will be tried on its merits on the many causes of action, including fraud and deceit.
