ASBESTOS LAW

In February of this year, the Court of Appeal allowed the Claimant’s appeal in Bussey and set aside the judgment in the Defendant’s favour. It remitted the case to the trial Judge for him to redetermine the issue of liability.

The case has now settled. Quantum was agreed before trial, subject to liability. The case settled on terms that the Defendant would pay the Claimant the agreed amount in full plus costs to be assessed.
