Correction, 3/2/2014, 8:00 a.m. EST: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that BP tried to decertify the class of plaintiffs covered by the settlement of economic and property damages claims.

Update: On March 3, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit rejected BP’s appeal of the causation issue.
