UK judge finds BHP Group liable in Brazil's worst environmental disaster

A dam collapse in 2015 unleashed tonnes of toxic waste into a major river, killing 19 and devastating villages downstream. A judge in the United Kingdom has ruled that global mining giant BHP Group is liable in Brazil's worst environmental disaster, in a lawsuit the claimants' lawyers previously valued at up to 36 billion pounds ($48bn). High Court Justice Finola O'Farrell said on Friday that Australia-based BHP was responsible despite not owning the dam at the time.
