Exxon Mobil suffered a defeat at the Supreme Court Monday, as the justices refused to consider the oil giant's appeal of a $112 million damage award in an environmental lawsuit. The court's decision Monday effectively ends the litigation. The case began in 1997 when a former Louisiana judge and his family sued Exxon, alleging that a contractor had contaminated the family's land with radioactive waste. A state jury initially awarded the family $1 billion in punitives and $56 million in compensatory damages.
