PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CONDUCT OF WATSON BURTON IN CONNECTION WITH COAL HEALTH CLAIMS (10 October 2006)
Motion Details
That this House condemns the actions of the law firm Watson Burton who, by colluding with the claims handling firm P and R Associates, deducted £325,000 from the compensation of coal health victims; believes that Watson Burton should have informed their clients that there was no need to deduct money from their compensation; and further believes that Watson Burton should pay back those former miners and widows of former miners who have had their rightful compensation reduced as a result of these unscrupulous practices.
