WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court seemed concerned Tuesday about the impact of siding with food giants Nestle and Cargill and ending a lawsuit that claims they knowingly bought cocoa beans from farms in Africa that used child slave labor. The court was hearing arguments in the case by phone because of the coronavirus pandemic. Both Nestle and Cargill say they have taken steps to combat child slavery and have denied any wrongdoing. Alito, for his part, was also skeptical about this particular case against Nestle and Cargill. Cargill and Nestle are asking the court to take another step and rule out suits against U.S. companies.

The Alien Tort Statute, adopted in part to deal with piracy claims, went unused for most of American history. In 2013, the justices ruled that people or entities sued under the Alien Tort Statute must have a real connection to the United States. Two years ago, the court held that foreign businesses cannot be sued under the law. In the current case, the American arm of Switzerland-based Nestle and the agribusiness concern Cargill are asking the court to rule out suits against U.S. companies as well. Cargill and Nestle say they have taken steps to combat forced child labor.

WICHITA, Kan. - Koch Industries is unlike any other company. David Koch, 79, who died Friday, and his brother Charles, 83, have owned the company since their father passed away in 1967. Koch Industries started under the name Wood River Oil and Refining Company in 1940. They were offered the chance in the early 1980s to take the company public and have a huge initial payday. So, they started a modest advertising campaign to try to burnish the reputation of the Koch Industries name.
