New Orleans restaurateur leads class action suit against BP

The operator of the highly regarded Bayona restaurant in New Orleans has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of restaurants and seafood providers against BP and other parties related to the Gulf oil crisis. Susan Spicer, owner of Bayona and a world class chef who appeared as a judge on the programs “Top Chef” and “Iron Chef America,” is seeking damages for lost business because of the disappearance of seafood supplies. The New Orleans restaurant industry depends heavily on local seafood. Also named as defendants in the case are Transocean Ltd, the owner of the Deepwater Horizon; Halliburton, which provided cementing services; and Cameron International Corp, which manufactured the blowout preventer.
