Indust Law - February 2011

Indust Law is Thomson Snell & Passmore’s regular newsletter, highlighting some key issues relating to chemical poisoning and asbestos. This issue includes examples of recent cases where we have recovered damages for exposure to asbestos in the early 1940s and obtained a provisional settlement of a pleural thickening case. The issue also includes an explanation of provisional damages and when they might apply and details of a controversial court decision on liability insurance policies.
