Vedanta Resources PLC and Another (Appellants) v. Lungowe and Others (U.K. Sup. Ct.)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 October 2019
Extract
On April 10, 2019, the U.K. Supreme Court (UKSC) handed down judgment in the case of Vedanta Resources PLC and Another (Appellants) v. Lungowe and Others (Respondents). The case raises important issues regarding jurisdiction and the potential for a duty of care to be imposed on a parent company in respect of harm caused by its subsidiary. The UKSC has also made clear that a duty of care could be imposed in a nonequity relationship such as in relation to a company's supply chain.
