Asbestos induced illness claims have been the subject of much judicial scrutiny over the past few years.
Containing concise but informative analysis on the history and prevalence of asbestos, breach of duty, causation, apportionment and damages, it also contains helpful and practical guidance on case management and court procedure, identifying the appropriate defendant and how to proceed against defunct companies.
The second edition has a number of expanded sections and analysis of recent caselaw such as Wilmore and Sienkewickz and looks at the implications of the Court of Appeal's judgment in the so-called trigger insurance litigation. A must-have for both experienced and novice asbestos-disease practitioners.
