Mesothelioma award upheld
A man has had his £86,750 compensation award upheld by the Court of Appeal. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2004, and
the award was made against his employer from over 35 years ago. He worked at the gas plant only for a few weeks, and the gas
company appealed on the grounds that he could been exposed to asbestos at any time in the intervening years.
