Anglo American said the High Court of South Africa has ruled
that a class action lawsuit against the miner related to lead
pollution in Kabwe, Zambia, shouldn't go ahead.
In its judgment, the court recognized the multiple legal and
factual flaws in the claim and deemed that it isn't in the
interests of justice for the class action to proceed, the miner
said Monday.
"We welcome the clarity and force of the court's decision to
dismiss this claim as untenable," Legal and Corporate Affairs
Director Richard Price said.
The class action case was against the mining major's South
African subsidiary Anglo American South Africa and brought on
behalf of 140,000 Zambian children and women for alleged lead
pollution.
