Dear Lisa,


The Nevsun v Araya case in Canada would fit the bill. Still waiting for the Supreme Court's judgment. There is also a 2013 decision of the Court of Appeal in Versailles on the Alstom and Veolia case. http://conflictoflaws.net/2013/a-european-sister-judgment-for-kiobel-2/

Best wishes,

Simon

Subject: principle of horizontality and corporate accountability
 

Greetings,

I am currently trying to learn more about the horizontal principle as used to impose human rights obligations on non-state actors in tort lawsuits.  In particular, I am interested in finding cases from non-U.S. jurisdictions that apply this principle with relation to corporate liability.


I appreciate any leads.


Thanks,

Lisa
