The case concerns 500 tonnes of chemical waste brought to Ivory Coast by multi-national oil company Trafigura and dumped around Abidjan by a local contractor in 2006.
Trafigura http://www.trafigura.com/#H48nvu63qZ98 agreed last year to pay people who said they had been made ill by the waste.
The company and the claimants' lawyers agreed that a link between the dumped waste and deaths had not been proved.
