BP PLC has petitioned an en banc panel of a federal appeals court to rehear a three-judge panel’s recent decision upholding the fairness of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement.

BP has maintained that the settlement administrator’s interpretations and court orders involving the deal have resulted in awards to individuals and businesses with no oil spill damages.
