PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
LAW LORDS VICTORY FOR ASBESTOS SUFFERERS (15 May 2002)
Motion Details
That this House welcomes the House of Lords decision that has reversed the controversial appeal court judgement in the case of Fairchild and others; acknowledges it is a victory for justice and fairness and that thousands of mesothelioma sufferers negligently exposed to asbestos and their families will now be able to obtain compensation; recognises the commitment and determination of UCATT to obtain justice for its members; and calls on the insurance industry to settle cases honourably and expedetiously because they are under public scrutiny.
