BP wants a federal judge to remove Patrick Juneau as administrator of damage claims from its 2010 oil spill.
BP says in court documents that he failed to disclose a major conflict of interest.
The motion filed yesterday says Juneau represented Louisiana in talks setting up the claims process, and he pushed for favorable terms for those with claims.
BP says that shows he's not the neutral person required for the job.
Juneau says he will respond in court.
BP says it recently obtained correspondence between Juneau's law firm and the Gulf Coast Claims Facility. It say documents show he argued for liberal compensation, flexible documentation requirements and other terms that would help Louisiana claimants at BP's expense.
BP says Juneau should have disclosed any conflict of interest, but did not.
