Federal Court brings end to Roundup litigation in Australia: Bayer
Leverkusen: Bayer has announced that the Federal Court of Australia brought an end to the last Roundup case in Australia, closing all pending injury litigation there. The Court granted the plaintiffs’ request to discontinue the Fenton class action against Monsanto involving allegations related to Roundup. This action follows the company’s earlier victory in the McNickle case in the same court.
McNickle was the first Roundup final judgment outside of the United States on the question of whether glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, causes non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The Court issued a 322-page ruling finding that the weight of scientific evidence does not support a link between glyphosate and NHL. This is an outcome consistent with worldwide regulatory and scientific assessments, including from the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA), concluding that glyphosate is not carcinogenic.
