BHP can't appeal UK judgment over 2015 Brazil dam collapse

BHP cannot appeal against a UK ruling that it is liable for the 2015 collapse of a dam in southeastern Brazil, London's Court of Appeal ruled on Wednesday.

In November, London's High Court ruled BHP was legally responsible for the collapse of the Fundao dam in Mariana, southeastern Brazil, which was owned and operated by Samarco, a joint venture between Australia-headquartered BHP and Brazilian company.
