BHP embroiled in $70 billion UK class action over Samarco dam collapse in Brazil

Almost nine years after a devastating dam collapse at a Brazilian iron ore mine, BHP is set to defend allegations at a London trial that it is “cynically and doggedly” trying to avoid its liability to pay billions in compensation to the communities hit hardest.

The collapse of Fundo Dam at an iron ore joint venture between Vale and BHP is at the heart of one of the largest UK class actions of its kind starting Monday.
