The federal government has been ordered to pay $52 million to Kotis companies in a land dispute related to the Greensboro greenway, according to a recent court ruling. Separately, the government has decided to settle a long-standing lawsuit with a U.S. power generation company by paying $20 million in compensation. In Japan, the government has abandoned its appeal against an Osaka High Court ruling that expanded the scope of compensation for asbestos-related health damages. This decision confirms the government's defeat in litigation brought by families of workers affected by asbestos exposure in factories. The government will partially revise its previous narrower approach to compensation eligibility, specifically regarding the timing for filing claims for asbestos pneumoconiosis damages.
