Guatemalan Plaintiffs reach fair and reasonable settlement in Canadian mining lawsuits

Lawyers for the Plaintiffs are pleased to announce that after more than a decade of litigation, the Mayan Q’eqchi’ Plaintiffs have successfully reached a fair and reasonable settlement with Hudbay Minerals Inc. which resolves litigation regarding allegations of human rights abuse at the Fenix mine in Guatemala.

The lawsuits relate to the 2009 killing of Adolfo Ich Chamán, the 2009 shooting and paralysis of German Chub Choc, and the 2007 eviction of the Mayan community of Lote Ocho from the disputed Fenix mine lands during which Plaintiffs Rosa Elvira Coc Ich, Margarita Caal and nine other women allege that they were sexually assaulted.

Hudbay Minerals owned the Fenix mine between 2008 and 2011...

Hudbay has denied the allegations including the alleged underlying events and liability throughout the litigation in Canada.

The settlement involves compensation to all thirteen plaintiffs in the three actions. The parties have agreed not to disclose the specific terms of the settlement including the amount paid in compensation...

Murray Klippenstein of Klippensteins Barristers & Solicitors, lawyer for the plaintiffs said: “At the beginning of this journey, the Plaintiffs were not sure that they would get any justice for what happened to them, either in Guatemala or in Canada. The plaintiffs pursued justice in Ontario against a transnational Canadian corporation and ultimately obtained a fair and reasonable settlement. We think that corporate executives and investors alike may want to take note. Our clients hope that their tenacity and ordeal will help protect the rights of others everywhere.”...
