Vedanta Resources Plc and KCM applied for a declaration that the Court did not have jurisdiction to try the claims of Zambian citizens in relation to the personal injury, damage to property and loss of income, amenity and enjoyment of land claims, resulting from alleged pollution and environmental damage caused by discharges from the Nchanga cooper mine. The appeals were dismissed.
