| dc.description.abstract | Major industrial accidents and situations causing massive environmental harm, which have occurred during the past fifteen years, have often involved multinational enterprises (MNE's). However, the relocation of hazardous activities to the developing countries by multinational companies in the developed world has become a well - established feature of the global economy. Cases such as the Bhopal disaster show problems that can arise from this practice and, in particular, the difficulties foreign plaintiffs may experience in obtaining adequate compensation for resulting injuries. The plaintiff may well find, as in the Bhopal Case, that the domestic company, which caused the damage, has insufficient assets to satisfy any judgement against it. The plaintiff will, therefore, need to consider recourse against the exporting parent company. | |
