Dyson is reviewing its legal options following the decision.
The UK Court of Appeal has ruled that 24 migrant workers from Nepal and Bangladesh, who allege forced labour while manufacturing Dyson products at a Malaysian factory, can sue Dyson in London. The workers claim they faced wage deductions and physical abuse at ATA Industrial, a Malaysian supplier for Dyson. Dyson denies the allegations and had previously succeeded in moving the case to Malaysia via a High Court ruling. However, the Court of Appeal determined that London is the appropriate forum for the case. Dyson is reviewing its legal options following the decision.
The plaintiffs, former employees of Malaysian supplier ATA Industrial, allege forced labor conditions while producing Dyson products. Migrant workers’ rights specialist Andy Hall raised these concerns in 2019. Dyson conducted six audits of ATA between 2019 and 2021, with the final audit by ELEVATE identifying significant forced labor risks. Despite efforts to improve conditions, Dyson terminated its contract with ATA in 2021 due to slow progress. The audit findings remain unpublished.
