2015 Mariana dam collapse claimants in Brazil file injunction against BHP and Vale, alleging attempts to derail £36bn lawsuit in London.
Lawyers representing claimants in Brazil's worst environmental disaster, the 2015 Mariana dam collapse, have filed an injunction against mining giants BHP and Vale. The claimants allege that BHP and Vale are attempting to derail a potential £36 billion ($46 billion) lawsuit in London, where they argue the companies should bear responsibility for the disaster that killed over 250 people. The lawsuit is separate from litigation in Brazil and began in 2018, with the first trial of key legal issues set to begin in October.
