Russian court to hear $13 billion lawsuit against BP


    MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian court has ordered a new hearing into a $13 billion lawsuit brought against BP by minority shareholders in its Russia's venture, TNK-BP , over a failed deal between BP and Rosneft , a BP lawyer said on Monday.

    The Federal Arbitration Court in the city of Tyumen has ordered a new hearing in a lower arbitration court, lawyer Konstantin Lukoyanov told Reuters. The original suit was thrown out last year.
