Bayer opnår succes i sag om forlig i glyphosat-retssager

Virksomheden Bayer med hovedkvarter i Leverkusen har opnået en vigtig juridisk sejr i sin tvist med sagsøgere i USA i forbindelse med glyphosat. Det planlagte forlig til en værdi af 7,25 milliarder dollars bliver fortsat ved en domstol i Missouri.

Individuelle advokatfirmaer, der repræsenterer sagsøgere, var ikke lykkedes med deres forsøg på at flytte sagen til Californien. En føderal dommer baseret dér havde allerede afvist et tidligere forligsforsøg fra Bayer for fem år siden.

Forligsprocessen, der blev annonceret i februar med en værdi på 7,25 milliarder dollars, havde allerede modtaget foreløbig godkendelse fra domstolen i Missouri i foråret. Dette fjerner en juridisk hindring for virksomheden.

Der er dog nu indgivet mere end 100 indsigelser og modkrav mod forliget, ifølge kilder i amerikanske juridiske kredse.
