The HUF 100 million payment was ordered as an injunction on the first day of hearings in the case. MÁV is seeking about HUF 353 million from MAL to compensate for damage to tracks and equipment caused by a flood of toxic red sludge from a burst reservoir at MAL’s plant in northwest Hungary.
The flood killed ten people and damaged hundreds of homes, making it Hungary’s worst ever industrial disaster.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
