Bayer sure of appeals of glyphosate court decisions

Bayer AG is confident its appeals of recent court rulings that its glyphosate weed killer Roundup caused cancer will be successful, a senior executive said on Thursday.

Liam Condon, president of Bayer's crop science division, said the appeals of jury rulings against the chemical will be heard by judges, a factor he sees as favorable to Bayer's chances.
