Lawsuit

Following a toxic spill of 40,000 cubic meters of chemicals from the Buenavista del Cobre copper mine, a subsidiary of Grupo México, into the Sonora and Bacanuchi rivers in August 2014, affected community members filed 12 different constitutional complaints (amparo) and several lawsuits against government agencies, the Buenavista del Cobre mine and the trust fund established to cover the costs of remediation and reparation between 2014 and 2018. The Mexican Supreme Court dismissed the case against the Buenavista del Cobre mine ruling that as a private entity, the company could not be sued under the constitutional complaint mechanism (amparo) used by the plaintiffs.
