BHP Loses Appeal in UK Over 2015 Brazil Dam Collapse Liability
BHP, a major mining company, has been denied the right to appeal a UK court ruling that holds it liable for the 2015 Fundao dam collapse in Brazil. The Court of Appeal in London upheld a previous High Court decision, which found BHP responsible under Brazilian law for the disaster. The collapse, which occurred at a dam owned by Samarco, a joint venture between BHP and a Brazilian company, resulted in 19 deaths and significant environmental damage. BHP's attempt to challenge the ruling was based on claims that the trial judge did not adequately consider its arguments.
