THE High Court has ruled against a London-based firm linked to the Beirut blast in a rare victory for victims of the 2020 disaster. 

More than 200 people were killed and 6,000 injured when hundreds of tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored at Beirut’s port detonated, destroying huge swathes of Lebanon’s capital city. 

The chemical was suspected to have been delivered to the port by British-registered chemical trading firm, Savaro Ltd.
