Right, it's linked from the intercept article:

> Chevron has hired private investigators to track Donziger, created a publication[1] to smear him, and put together a legal team of hundreds of lawyers from 60 firms, who have successfully pursued an extraordinary campaign against him.

[1] this is a link to the Amazonpost.com.

So,is it really set up and run by Chevron for the purpose of discrediting?

It's a link to the court documents, not to whatever this site is.
It's a link to the court documents, hosted at that site.

www.theamazonpost.com/wp-content/uploads/Chevron-Ecuador-Opinion-3.4.14.pdf

I'm not saying the documents aren't legit (I don't know). But it's clearly a link to that site.

Agreed. The suggested source, http://theamazonpost.com, is like something out of a nightmare. Really puts into perspective the angle provided by The Intercept.

(Yes the link goes to a court opinion, just remarking on the host itself.)

Note that the intercept article links to theamazonpost as an example of stuf Chevron did to discredit the lawyer - that is setting up the site/publication (see my sibling comment).
