We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to .....address the decision by the House of Lords on 17th. October where they rejected claims of asbestos victims deeming that they had not suffered a “compensatable” injury. This decision will concern many people who are affected by pleural plaques. More details
Submitted by Derek Maylor of CWU NW Safety Co-ord – Deadline to sign up by: 18 April 2008 – Signatures: 437
More details from petition creator
With reference to : UKHL 39 on appeal from: [2006] EWCA Civ 27.
Pleural plaques is scarring to the lung wall caused by inhalation of asbestos and sufferers have often been exposed by reckless employers which is why victims deserve such compensation. The harm to the employee, by exposure to asbestos, in many such cases would have been due to a completely “foreseeable risk” and as such victims have a moral right to claim.
