Transnational Lawsuits in Canada against Extractive Companies

This publication provides an overview of claims filed in Canadian courts containing allegations of environmental or human rights abuse overseas related to the operations of Canadian extractive companies or companies within their corporate group. We examine the outcomes and implications of each case, as well as the challenges inherent in transnational litigation of this nature.
