Ecuador will investigate the judges in charge of a case brought by Chevron in 2006 and for which it had to pay $ 112 million to the US oil company, according to an international arbitration award, reported Monday the Attorney General´s office.

The country “will start actions for recovery against those judges and judicial servants who were in charge of the cases brought by the company, that according to the decision of the Tribunal (The Hague), breached their obligation to administer justice in a timely manner, reason why the State was condemned,” the Attorney´s office said in a statement.

It added that the Hague Tribunal concluded that Ecuador failed to comply with a bilateral investment treaty with the United States for an “undue delay by the courts of Ecuador that did not resolve the seven commercial cases brought by the US oil company between 1991 and 1994.”
