The African Coalition for Corporate Accountability disappointed by UK court's dismissal of case by victims of 2008 post-election violence in Kenya against Unilever

The African Coalition for Corporate Accountability (ACCA) has expressed disappointment with the judgement handed down by the UK Court of Appeal (CA) in the matter against Unilever. The claimants, who are a group of 218 survivors of 2007 post-election attacks at a tea plantation in Kenya, alleged that, the UK-registered parent company and its Kenyan-registered subsidiary were each liable for failure to adopt adequate measures to protect them from an ethnic violence that occurred during the 2007 Kenyan elections. The court of Appeal Court declined jurisdiction over the case.
