BP trespasses on and contaminates land belonging to local Ala. bank.

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. — Regions Bank and BP PLC are squaring off in court after the oil company allegedly staged an oil spill cleanup crew on a tract the bank owns on Perdido Pass.

In the suit filed earlier this month in Baldwin County Circuit Court, Alabama’s largest bank claims that BP cleanup workers set up shop on waterfront property less than a week after the Deepwater Horizon well exploded on April 20 and sent oil gushing into the Gulf.

The cleanup crews fenced off the property, which is owned by Regions, installed machinery and other equipment and remained there despite protests by the bank, the suit says.

When the workers finally moved off the property June 29, relocating to public land on the inlet’s east side, the bank alleges the workers left behind “hazardous waste and other environmental contamination.”
As a result, Regions seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and has asked for a jury trial.

3. at the least, bp needs to do hazardous waste mitigation so the

bank can sell the property . . . not to mention pay rent for the use of the property the property is worth less until the mitigation is done. otherwise, the bank would have to bear that cost.

4. Regions Bank is another scum entity

My bank = free money orders.

Regions (My daughter's bank) = $7.00 money orders. They nickel and dime people to death...


They are vultures, but of course they will get their recompense.


Maybe all the evil banks and oil co's and corporations will sue each other out of existence...
