BHP Loses Appeal in UK Court Over 2015 Brazil Dam Collapse Liability
BHP has been denied permission 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 operated by Samarco, a joint venture between BHP and a Brazilian company, resulted in 19 deaths and significant environmental damage. BHP's appeal was rejected on the grounds that there was sufficient evidence to support the High Court's findings. A further trial to determine damages is expected to begin in April 2027.
