Picture: REUTERS/RICARDO MORAES London London’s Court of Appeal made a U-turn on Tuesday by agreeing to reopen a £5bn lawsuit by 200,000 claimants against Anglo-Australian mining giant BHP, reviving a case over a dam rupture behind Brazil’s worst environmental disaster. Lawyers for one of the largest group claims in English legal history have been pushing to resurrect the £5bn lawsuit against BHP since a lower court struck out the lawsuit as an abuse of process last year.

Tom Goodhead, a PGMBM managing partner who is bringing the claim on behalf of Brazilian individuals, businesses, churches, organisations, municipalities and indigenous people, called it a “monumental judgment”. Frederico de Assis Faria, attorney general of Brazil’s hard-hit district of Mariana, said victims now had “an opportunity for real justice” six years after the disaster. BHP, the world’s largest mining company by market value, has labelled the case pointless and wasteful, saying it duplicates proceedings in Brazil and the work of the Renova Foundation, an entity created by the company and its Brazilian partners to manage reparations and repairs.
