A “blockbuster” trial due to start in October will expose evidence of deliberate decisions made by BHP up to board level to prioritise profit over safety, a lawyer says.
The lawyer leading a $65 billion class action lawsuit against BHP over the Fundao dam collapse in Brazil says the “blockbuster” trial, due to start in October, will expose a number of decisions taken by the miner to prioritise profit over safety.
Goodhead said he was “overwhelming confident” that the proceedings would prove BHP’s liability, suggesting that before the Fundao dam collapsed, the miner received warnings that were ignored.
“We finished the year with a strong fourth quarter, achieving several production records, and we are meeting current production and unit cost guidance for all commodities,” Henry said in an upbeat assessment of the company’s performance.
