CategoriesIn the news | Mines news Silicosis case: UK High Court orders Anglo to disclose documentsAccording to Allafrica.com, Anglo American South Africa Ltd (AASA) was ordered by a UK High Court judge to disclose an array of documents to ex-gold miners who are suing AASA for silicosis in a mass action in the UK High Court. London law firm Leigh Day & Co represents more than 1500 claimants who worked on Anglo's mines in South Africa up to 1998 In the UK litigation which started in September 2011, reports Allafrica.com.
