BHP accused of doggedly trying to avoid' responsibility for Brazil dam disaster
Briefly

BHP has been accused of evading responsibility for Brazil's worst environmental disaster, facing a lawsuit claiming 36bn in compensation from over 620,000 individuals.
The claimants' lawyer, Alain Choo Choy KC, highlighted the failures of the reparations process in Brazil, leading to the lawsuit being opened in England.
Choo Choy characterized BHP's response as 'cynically and doggedly' avoiding its responsibilities, contrasting it with the victims' entitlements and moral claims for justice.
BHP's choice to litigate instead of addressing its responsibilities raises questions about its commitment to justice for the victims of the Mariana disaster.
