See our commentary on the High court decision here. We are also awaiting the Court of Appeal’s judgment in the case of AAA and others v Unilever plc and another, which was heard on appeal from the High Court last week. See our earlier blog posts for our more detailed analysis of these two cases: Lungowe v Vedanta and Okpabi v Shell. Vedanta and KCM EWCA (Civ) 1528 (October 2017) and Okpabi and others v Royal Dutch Shell Plc and another EWCA Civ 191 ( Okpabi) (February 2018). This case comes hot on the heels of the English Court of Appeal’s two recent rulings on parent company liability and jurisdiction in Lungowe and others v. On 16 April, proceedings were issued in the English courts against Gemfields Limited, a London-based mining company, in relation to allegations of human rights abuses in connection with the activities of its subsidiary in the vicinity of the Montepuez ruby mine in Mozambique.
