Brazil: Lawyers of the claimants taking legal action over dam collapse file injunction against BHP and Vale for "trying to derail" London lawsuit

"Claimants for deadly Mariana dam collapse file injunction against BHP, Vale", 27 June 2024

...Lawyers representing claimants taking legal action over Brazil's worst environmental disaster filed an injunction this week against miners BHP and Vale for "trying to derail" a potential 36 billion-pound ($46 billion) London lawsuit.

More than 720,000 Brazilians, including 46 local governments, are suing BHP and Vale over the 2015 collapse of the Mariana dam, which was owned and operated by their Samarco joint venture...

Brazilian Mining Association IBRAM filed a motion in Brazil's Supreme Court on June 11 seeking to stop around 46 municipalities from continuing in the London case on the grounds that doing so represented a threat to Brazil's sovereignty. BHP and Vale are both members of IBRAM and the claimants allege they asked IBRAM to make the claim at the Supreme Court.

BHP...declined to comment. Vale also declined to comment...
