Multinational corporate groups pose a challenge to traditional methods of legal control, particularly when corporations domiciled in wealthy western countries exploit, through foreign-domiciled subsidiaries, the resources and ‘weak governance’ of the developing world. In holding England as the proper place in which to bring a claim against  both  a UK-domiciled company and its Zambian subsidiary, for environmental damage abroad, the Supreme Court has allegedly ‘opened the door’ to similar future actions.

A desire to avoid future ‘voluntary assumptions of responsibility’ may be the undoing of post- Vedanta  optimism.
