Nevsun sidesteps class action; mulls appealing precedent-setting Canadian suits

The British Columbia Supreme Court on Thursday rendered a precedent-setting decision  allowing Eritreans to bring civil action against Nevsun Resources. While the court refused to allow a class-action claim to proceed in court, Nevsun said it would consider appealing a court decision allowing three plaintiffs to bring forward a lawsuit regarding allegations of human rights abuses on Nevsun property.
