The document is the winter 2015 edition of the Asbestos News newsletter published by Fieldfisher Solicitors. It provides 3 key summaries:
1) Fieldfisher lawyers supported several Action Mesothelioma Day 2015 events around the UK that promoted awareness of asbestos dangers and commemorated mesothelioma victims.
2) Parliamentary updates include a bill being introduced to compel insurers to fund medical research for mesothelioma and an announcement that compensation payments for mesothelioma victims will be increased from 80% to 100% of average court awards.
3) Case summaries provide details on successful claims filed on behalf of former workers exposed to asbestos such as a tiler, painter and decorator,

SB 411, the Asbestos Bankruptcy Trust Claims Transparency Act, imposes new disclosure requirements on asbestos claimants regarding claims filed against asbestos bankruptcy trusts. It aims to increase transparency between asbestos bankruptcy trusts and civil litigation. Under the new law, asbestos plaintiffs must disclose all past and potential asbestos trust claims at least 120 days before trial. They must also make all trust claim materials available to defendants. Failure to comply can result in losing a trial date. For non-cancer asbestos claims filed after June 8, 2015, there are also new evidentiary and medical history requirements that make bringing a claim more difficult. While the law removes some of the harshest original provisions, it remains challenging for asbestosis
This document summarizes recent developments in UK law regarding compensation for bereavement and psychiatric injuries:
1) A new bill has been introduced to reform laws around bereavement damages and psychiatric injuries. It would expand the list of eligible relatives for bereavement claims and make it easier for secondary victims to claim damages for psychiatric injuries.
2) Currently, secondary victims can only claim psychiatric damages if they had a close relationship to the primary victim and witnessed a shocking accident. The bill proposes removing this "proximity test" and allowing claims if injury was reasonably foreseeable due to a close loving relationship.
3) These changes would benefit victims of mesothelioma and asbestos diseases, as currently bereaved
Fieldfisher is a law firm that specializes in asbestos and mesothelioma claims. They have handled over 2,500 successful asbestos claims totaling over £220 million in compensation. The document discusses several of Fieldfisher's recent successful claims and also provides updates on asbestos-related issues including:
1) The Diffuse Mesothelioma Payment Scheme which provides compensation for mesothelioma victims who cannot identify their employer's insurer. The payment amounts vary based on the victim's age.
2) A parliamentary group is calling for urgent action to eliminate all remaining asbestos in Britain, as asbestos exposure is still occurring and is predicted to cause 5,000 deaths per year through 2020.
This document summarizes key topics in toxic tort litigation including causation, expert witnesses, and exposure to various chemicals. It discusses:
1) The two types of causation that must be proven in toxic tort cases - general and specific causation. General causation establishes that a substance is capable of causing harm while specific causation shows it caused a specific individual's injury.
2) Common methods of proving general causation including controlled studies, epidemiological studies, and animal/laboratory studies. Courts have differing standards on what level of association is required.
3) Specific causation requires showing a plaintiff's level and duration of exposure was sufficient to cause their injury. Exposure does not need to be precisely quantified
Relatively Exclusive: A national overview of employer liability for toxic tortsMichael D. Martinez
Presentation given at The National Forum for Environmental & Toxic Tort Issues (FETTI) 2019 Annual Conference at the Union League Club in Chicago, Illinois on September 26, 2019.
Presentation focuses on the viability of, and challenges to, the exclusive remedy defense in toxic tort and asbestos actions nationwide, including recent legislation enacted by the Pennsylvania and Illinois legislatures to reverse the decisions of each state's supreme court with respect to the viability of the exclusive remedy as a defense to civil actions for asbestos-related injuries.
This document provides an overview of tort law related to negligence. It defines negligence as when someone owes a duty of care but fails to act with reasonable standard of care, causing injury. The elements of negligence that must be proven are: 1) the defendant owed a duty of care, 2) there was a breach of that duty, 3) harm was caused by the breach, and 4) the harm was reasonably foreseeable. It discusses the development of the duty of care concept through cases like Donoghue v Stevenson and introduces tests for determining duty of care, including the neighbor principle, Anns v Merton test, Caparo test, and assessing reasonable foreseeability of harm.
Causation in fact is the starting point for determining liability in negligence claims. There must be a causal link between the defendant's actions and the claimant's loss. Causation in fact is evaluated using the "but for" test - but for the defendant's actions, would the loss have occurred? If the loss would have occurred regardless, then factual causation is not established. However, in cases of exposure to toxic substances like asbestos where determining the specific cause is difficult, courts have modified the causation standard so that liability can be apportioned among all possible tortfeasors. An intervening act can break the chain of causation if it was not reasonably foreseeable, such as an unexpected act of vandal

This document summarizes several successful asbestos exposure claims handled by Fieldfisher solicitors. It includes:
1) A claim by Andrew Morgan that recovered £300,000 for an American man exposed to asbestos while working as a chemical engineer in the UK in the 1950s/1960s.

Asbestos & Mesothelioma: The Relentless KillersThe Law Buzz
Even though asbestos use has dropped dramatically since the 1970s, thousands of mesothelioma victims continue to die every year — with no end in sight.
Asbestos Attorneys Information,Asbestos Exposure and its Deadly Consequenceskennethericson77
Over 30,000 personal injury claims have been made against asbestos manufacturers due to exposure to asbestos and its deadly consequences like mesothelioma. It is estimated that there will be over 180,000 additional claims by 2010. Asbestos was popular for its insulating and heat resistant properties but can lead to fatal mesothelioma from exposure. Those most at risk are those who worked with asbestos in industries like manufacturing, shipyards, and construction. It is important for potential victims to consult an attorney as they may be able to file a claim within their state's statute of limitations.
Contract And Tort Pleural Plaques ( Nov 07)legalnewsblog
The House of Lords ruled against workers seeking compensation for pleural plaques caused by asbestos exposure. Pleural plaques themselves cause no symptoms and do not lead to other asbestos-related diseases, but they indicate the presence of asbestos fibers in the lungs. The Lords found pleural plaques are not actionable damage under UK law as they cause no physical or economic harm. While future asbestos-related illnesses may be compensated, pleural plaques alone will not result in compensation. The ruling establishes a binding precedent in UK courts.

Every business, and every in house lawyer, will at some point be involved with an enquiry, an investigation, or potential litigation. During litigation, documents – including emails, attendance notes and reports – which are relevant to the litigation may have to be disclosed if they are not privileged.
So businesses need to know how it can assess litigation risk or conduct an enquiry without creating documents that it then has to produce and which may be detrimental to its position. The law on this issue has recently been considered by the Court of Appeal in two key cases: WH Holding Ltd v E20 Stadium LLP and SFO v Eurasian Natural Resources Corp Ltd.
In this webinar recording, our experts Mark Daniels and Helen Simm provide you with the key information you need to identify these issues when they arise and to know how you can best protect your position.
We are all waiting with bated breath for the Supreme Court decision in CN & GN, a case which will have a huge practical impact on service providers. Previously the Court of Appeal was dismayed about the damages claims, that had been litigated with little regard to, or understanding of, the law and reality of social care practice. Some of the team involved in the case discus what might happen next, and analyse the practical effect for you of the Supreme Court judgment.
Whilst that judgment has been awaited many claims have been on ice, but to fill that gap we are seeing many of our clients being affected by:
- pressure to consider Redress Schemes
- the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
- claims being brought directly against them as fostering agencies
- claims under the Human Rights Act
- issues following the implementation of GDPR.

This guide aims to provide information on how lawyers will be able to use the opportunities provided by AI tools and how such tools could help the business processes of small firms. Its objective is to provide lawyers with some background to understand what they can and cannot realistically expect from these products. This guide aims to give a reference point for small law practices in the EU
against which they can evaluate those classes of AI applications that are probably the most relevant for them.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

3. Mesothelioma claims
Represent about 80% of the cost of asbestos based
claims to the insurance industry
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops in the
lining that covers the outer surface of some of the
body's organs (often the lungs). It is linked to
asbestos exposure.
5. Mesothelioma claims - what is
changing?
• 2002 – 1,600 claims
• 2006 – 2,500 claims
• 2010 – 3,250 claims
• 2014 – 3,500 claims
Recent experience shows a stable but increasing
notification trend of claims
The increases in claims notified appears to be slowing
down
6. Mesothelioma claims – what’s
changing – average costs
2002 - £69,000
2006 - £75,000
2010 - £87,500
2104 - £97,500
Inflation is running at about 3-4% per annum
Paid at nil are running at between 21% and 23%
7. Mesothelioma – what’s changing –
Claimant age at notification
2002 – 67
2006 – 69
2010 – 73
2014 – 74
Which means that you are dealing with older claims
for your authority (or a predecessor authority)
11. Mesothelioma claims – death
rates
HSE projection peaks in 2016
Other projections peak higher and later (2018)
Revised HSE projection moved back to 2015 but
peaked higher (about 1%)
12. Mesothelioma claims – what
might change
Medical advances –
longevity (40% of sufferers survive one year, 20%
survive two years)
Cure – impact on claims depends on how the cost of
the cure compares to the cost of death benefits
A double lung transplant costs £360,000,
chemotherapy cost £26,000
13. Mesothelioma claims – what
might change?
Mortality improvements – increased longevity means
more exposed lives develop mesothelioma
Exposure pattern – the long latency period means we
know little about underlying exposure from late
1970’s onwards
14. Mesothelioma – what might
change
Inflation –
Medical - costs e.g. drugs
Legal – court fee increases, changes to Ogden
discount rates, case law
15. Mesothelioma claims – MMI
Annual Report and Accounts for year ending 30 June
2016
“An increase in the provision for mesothelioma claims
has not been required this year as reporting
patterns for new mesothelioma claims have
stabilised”
16. Mesothelioma claims – MMI
“The Employers Liability mesothelioma account
remained stable due to slightly fewer new claims
being reported compared with the previous year, but
the very nature of these claims makes future
projection uncertain”
17. Mesothelioma claims – what you
are seeing
Claims from –
Caretakers/DLO?
Teachers/pupils?
Tenants?
Others?
18. Mesothelioma claims – the
relevant timeline
Early 1960’s – two tier local government – counties
and municipal boroughs/county boroughs/rural
districts and urban districts
1965 – London boroughs created
1974 – Shire counties and non-metropolitan districts
or metropolitan counties and metropolitan districts
19. Mesothelioma claims
1965 – Newhouse & Thompson paper & Sunday Times
article – Serious injury could be caused by low
asbestos exposure
Even though 1970 - HM Factories Inspectorate
Technical Data Note 13 – tolerated some exposure
20. Mesothelioma claims
• Pre 1965 – unless there was substantial exposure to
asbestos dust - you shouldn’t be paying out on
claims
• E.g. Clark v LB Enfield (1) 7 Balding & Mansell (2)
• Alleged exposure, judged by the standards of the
time, did not present a foreseeable risk of injury
21. Mesothelioma claims
• Living Claimant
• Evidence upon Commission
• Occupational Hygienist’s report
• Claim discontinued against Enfield with costs
22. Mesothelioma claims - insurance
• Policy (or predecessor authority’s policy) lost
• Look in the archives – relevant minutes – sufficient
evidence?
23. Mesothelioma claims – the search
for evidence
Archives – committee minutes – asbestos policy and
measures
24. Mesothelioma claims
• The tide may be on the turn
• The cost makes it worthwhile expending some time
and money exploring a defence
• Claims are winnable
27. Material Contribution
• Asbestosis claim arising from exposure between
1950s to the 1980s.
• Claimant was 87 years of age where exposure by
defendant amounted to 2.3% of total lifetime dose.
• Asbestosis is a divisible disease and so dose
related.
• Claimant had other health issues and any
contribution by the defendant to the claimant's
respiratory symptoms or disability was likely to be
very small.
28. • At the earlier hearing below, the court had found for the
claimant on the basis that:
• 2 .3%, although small was not de minimis (this was conceded
on appeal)
• The extent of asbestos increase was an indicator that the
claimant had become worse off physically even though it was
not noticeable or measurable. The dose of 2.3% had made a
contribution to the overall condition.
• The claimant was at an increased risk of developing lung cancer
• The claimants condition was likely to worsen to the point
where the claimant will be virtually confined to bed and be
dependent upon others.
• Unlike cases such as pleural plaque, where damage is
measurable but symptomless and no damages are payable, the
condition of asbestosis cannot be described as benign.
29. • What is ‘actionable damage’- Was the Claimant
worse off?
• Court decided 2.3% was material- appeal dismissed.
• What dosage will be de-minimis?
30. Carl Henegan (Son & Executor
of James Leo Henegan,
Deceased) –v- Manchester Dry
Docks Limited and 5 others
(2016) EWCA
31. • Different approach to divisible and indivisible
diseases.
• Claimant developed lung cancer due to asbestos
exposure.
• Defendant sued exposure made up 35.2% of whole
life exposure.
• Court awarded 35.2% of any damages awarded.
32. • Claimant appealed relying upon the Bonnington
Castings Ltd v Wardlaw 1956 AC: argued that:-
• It was established that the lung cancer had been
caused by the deceased exposure to asbestos.
• The causal connection between the lung cancer and the
asbestos was established by reason of the cumulative
dose.
• Each defendant therefore materially contributed to the
contraction of the disease.
33. • Argument rejected by court. Test is whether
exposure by defendant contributed to the injury.
• Divisible cases- severity is proportional to the
amount of exposure.
• Indivisible cases such as lung cancer not possible to
apply same test as cannot say which fibres from
which employer caused lung cancer.
34. • Application of Fairchild exception as qualified by
Baker v Corus applies.
• Section 3 of the compensation act which reversed
effect of Baker did not apply as only applied to
mesothelioma cases.
36. Contributory Negligence
• Mesothelioma claim brought against defendants
successors in title for period of employment
between 1963/64.
• Primary liability was admitted.
• Contributory negligence alleged for period of self-
employment with two separate companies between
periods 1976/7 to 1992/3.
37. • Consideration given to whether claimant was self-employed
rather than employee - court decided claimant was self-
employed.
• Claimants statement denied asbestos exposure while self-
employed.
• In forms completed for benefits claimant had admitted
working with asbestos during period of self-employment.
• Medical records also confirmed exposure during this self-
employment period.
• Claimant accepted possibility of exposure during
deposition.
• Court considered decision in Williams v University of
Birmingham 2011 EWCA . Did degree of exposure while self
employed make injury foreseeable by standards of the
time?
38. • Reliance was placed on Badger v MOD (2005) EWHC where
the court stated:
“Once contributory negligence has been established, the
court must take into account both the extent of the
claimants responsibility for his injury and damage and the
blameworthiness of his conduct as opposed to that of the
defendant in deciding on the reduction in damages that is
just and equitable”.
The judge described the evidence of how the claimant was
exposed to asbestos while self-employed was either ‘thin’ or
‘non-existent’.
• The judge rejected the allegation that the deceased was
guilty of contributory negligence.
40. The Importance of a Good Engineering Evidence
• Claimant diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2013
died in 2015 aged 60.Claim pursued by estate.
• Claimant alleged that he had been exposed to
asbestos in the manufacture of fire doors.
• Alleged breaches of the Asbestos Regulations 1969
and section 63 of the Factories act 1961 in relation
to the failure to control dust emissions.
41. • The court when considering the legal principles relied upon
Williams v University of Birmingham 2011 EWCA:-
• The defendant owed a duty of care not to unreasonably
expose him to asbestos fibre's and the consequent risk of
asbestos-related injury, including mesothelioma.
• The claimant must show the defendant was in breach of that
duty by being negligent and exposing the victim to asbestos
fibres and consequent asbestos-related injury that was the
reasonably foreseeable result of that negligence.
• The claimant must prove on balance of probability that the
defendants negligent breach of duty had caused a material
increase in the risk that the claimant would develop
mesothelioma.
• The claimant must also prove the loss and damage suffered
is within the usual ‘remoteness’ rules.
42. • The court confirmed the Supreme Court decision in
Baker v Quantum Clothing Group Limited 2011 that
the standard of conduct expected is that of the
reasonable and prudent employer at the time
taking into account developing knowledge about
the particular danger concerned.
43. • Conflicting engineering evidence
• Defendant expert evidence preferred. Judge concluded
exposure to asbestos fibres did not exceed standards
of the time.
• Court stressed onus not on Defendant.
• “It is for the Claimant to prove both that the
Defendant company was negligent and that its breach
of duty caused a material increase in the risk that the
victim would develop mesothelioma.”
45. Will GDPR apply to the UK?
• Yes
• No information as to how it will apply
• Tinkering with GDPR post-Brexit?
• Favourable exemptions?

• Point of contact for Supervisory Authority
64. Mandatory breach notification
• Notify data protection authority without undue delay
and, where feasible, within 72 hours of awareness –
reasoned justification required where timeframe is not
met
• Notify the affected data subjects without undue delay –
where there is a “high risk” to their rights and
freedoms
• Not required if breach is unlikely to result in a risk to
the rights and freedoms of individuals
• Adopt internal procedures for data breaches
65. Consequences of a data breach
• Level 1: €10,000,000 or 2% total worldwide annual
turnover
• Level 2: € 20,000,000 or 4% total worldwide annual
turnover
• Factors taken into account when determining fine:
Nature, gravity and duration of the breach
Whether breach intentional or negligent
Previous breaches by the data controller/processor
Technical and organisational measures in place.
66. Next steps
• Enforceable from 25 May 2018
• Where consent is relied upon as the basis for processing, consider
whether this is valid under the GDPR
• Review all communication and information to ensure all necessary
information is stated
• Review systems to ensure that new obligations can be met, such as
data portability
• Review processes and procedures for reviewing and reporting data
breaches, and implement appropriate policies
• Consider whether it is necessary to appoint a DPO
67. Next steps
• Consider the relationship between various parties to an
agreement, who is the data controller/processor in relation to
what personal data, and the obligations on each
• Review agreement between controllers and processors to ensure
appropriate arrangements are in place
• Consider the rights of the data subject. How will you deal with
requests for erasure?
• Consider the impact of Brexit, including which parts of your
operations are within the UK or elsewhere
• Consider where personal data of individuals within the EU and
outside of the EU is processed and how this impacts on your
obligations
