 Anglo-Australian miner BHP has dismissed as pointless and wasteful a 5 billion pound 6.3 billion English lawsuit by 200,000 Brazilian people and groups over the 2015 collapse of a dam that led to Brazils worst environmental disaster. These applications are ... brought because the attempt to export and duplicate the work being done in Brazil, including the litigation, to England, is pointless and wasteful, BHP said in legal documents. The hearing will establish whether the case can be tried in England, although the judge is expected to reserve judgment until around September.
