London law firm Leigh Day & Co has started proceedings in the London High Court
against Anglo American South Africa , as the Johannesburg-registered wholly
owned subsidiary of London-based Anglo American plc. Thousands of former gold

resulting from exposure to dust in the company's South African gold mines. The
case has just begun but given the suffering and poverty of the victims and the
amount of time that this has been happening, Leigh Day & Co hopes that a
settlement scheme will be established early on. Read the full story here from
