AP NewsBreak: Report alleges misconduct in BP case

NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? A lawyer working for the court-appointed administrator to review claims as part of the multibillion-dollar settlement over BP's Gulf oil spill has been accused of receiving payments from a law firm representing a claimant, a BP official with direct knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.

The BP official said the allegations were discussed in a closed-door meeting Thursday with a federal judge overseeing the case.

The company official, who has reviewed a report outlining the allegations, said claims administrator Patrick Juneau delivered a copy of it to U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier on Thursday during a meeting in his chambers. Lawyers for BP and the team of private attorneys who brokered the settlement also attended the meeting. The BP official spoke on condition of anonymity because the report hasn't been made public.
