Paul
Francois, who claims he was poisoned by Lasso pesticide, has won in appeals
court in Lyon, France, but Monsanto says it will file an application to appeal
to France’s highest court.
The Lyon
Appeals Court upheld
a ruling in 2012 in which Monsanto was found guilty of chemical poisoning.
Francois said
he suffered various neurological problems as a result of inhaling the
herbicide.
Monsanto was
ordered to fully compensate the grain grower for his ailments.
Monsanto's
lawyer said
that expert found no causal link between the alleged exposure and the health
effects Francois claims.
