Wondering: Is the BP limit of 75 million in effect NO MATTER WHAT BP DOES? Does
Advertisements [?]
the language of the limit require that BP performs in a normal, honest, way consistent with industry standards?

If a company, say BP, takes shortcuts in order to appear ready for executive visits.....or ignores standard practices....or ignores warnings....or covers up wrongdoing....or falsifies information in order to get waivers....or doesn't conduct required inspections...or doesn't install required safeguards that work

then

Are they/should they be on the hook for damage caused by their negligence regardless of an agreement or waiver otherwise limiting their non-cleanup liability to an amount equal to their annual paper clip expenses?
