LEGAL CLAIM
A legal claim on behalf of 1 826 Zambian villagers against global diversified metals and mining company Vedanta Resources and its Zambian subsidiary Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) has been given the go-ahead by a High Court judge to proceed in the UK courts. The ruling, handed down on Friday, follows a hearing last month in which the court heard arguments from UK-based Vedanta and KCM against the jurisdiction of the English courts to try the claims.
