The podcast focuses in particular on transnational tort claims in the English courts, in which claimants seek to establish liability on the part of parent companies for the acts or omissions of their subsidiaries abroad, and looks at how this area is developing. It also discusses climate-change related litigation, and the potential for such claims to take hold in England and Wales.
