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.
This updated third edition has a number of expanded sections and analysis of recent case law such as Sienkewickz, Williams and Heneghan and looks at the implications of the Supreme Court's decision in the so-called trigger insurance litigation.
A must have for both experienced and novice asbestos-disease practitioners.
