Zambian villagers can sue Vedanta in the UK-London's Court of Appeal

Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, Oct (Shenzhen: 000069.SZ - news) 13 (Reuters) - Nearly 2,000 Zambian villagers can pursue a claim for damages in English courts for environmental pollution after London's Court of Appeal on Friday rejected an appeal by diversified miner Vedanta.

Vedanta Resources (Other OTC: VDNRF - news) and its Zambian subsidiary Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) had appealed against a ruling in May last year when a High Court judge decided the claim could proceed on behalf of 1,826 Zambian villagers.

The companies had argued the claims could be brought in Zambia. (Reporting by Barbara Lewis; editing by Kate Holton)
