Just hope it does;t get appealed or anything....It sounds like the "run-off" insurers that brought the case are accepting the judgement.. here's hoping! Families and sufferers have enough on their plates dealing with illness and bereavement without having to go through more court cases

It's some kind of justice . A disgrace that some of the insurers went down that road though. Even the Association of British Insurers was pleased at the result.
They drag these things out for a long time,same thing happened with the miners trying to get compensation.I assume they hope those trying to get compensation will die off meantime.I agree,Good result.

It's disgraceful katty. Miners with silicosis and shipyard workers ( and the countless others that were exposed to asbestos, even when it was known it was dangerous ) got such a raw deal while Turner and Newell , then the employers, then their insurers, covered up and dragged things out . It's good to see the latest stalling tactic fall on its face .
