UK court to reconsider $6.9 bln Brazil dam lawsuit against BHP

London’s Court of Appeal will hear a request to revive a £5 billion lawsuit against Anglo-Australian mining group BHP over a 2015 dam failure in Brazil. Judge Nicholas Underhill has agreed to an oral hearing that could help to overturn a previous Court of Appeal decision which denied a 200,000-strong Brazilian claimant group permission to appeal against a judgment to strike out the landmark case. PGMBM is representing the Brazilian claimants. More from Reuters.
