Chemours' C8 Liability Case Belongs In Arbitration, Not Court, DowDuPont Says

WILMINGTON, Del. - DowDuPont Inc. on Nov. 13 filed a brief in Delaware state court contending that the court should dismiss a lawsuit brought by the Chemours Co., a spinoff company of E.I. du Pont de Nemours& Co., which contends that DowDuPont seeks to "avoid accountability for environmental costs through a campaign of transactional engineering" related to litigation brought against it for injuries allegedly caused by exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), also called C8. DowDuPont argues that the case belongs in arbitration (The Chemours Company v. DowDuPont Inc., No. 2019-0351, Del. Chanc.).
