Commonwealth v. ExxonMobil

Action by Massachusetts attorney general asserting that Exxon Mobil Corporation committed deceptive practices against Massachusetts investors and consumers, including by failing to disclose climate change risks.

The implications of this case are extensive. Elements of the case accuse ExxonMobil of violating Massachusetts's consumer protection laws. Massachusett's consumer protection laws are virtually identical to those in a dozen other U.S. states.
