Liability Risk and Insurance
A bad day for insurers
The House of Lords, in the run up and the ruling on the mesothelioma case
Fairchild
, gave insurers a bad day. Not so much from the ruling, which must have been expected and reserved for, but through forthright
criticism and the bad image and publicity engendered by the fight, despite valiant efforts of explanation by the Association
of British Insurers (ABI).
