Cable cancer risk

Cable cancer risk - 1995 - Independent 20 October 1995, (1) .

In "R v SoS Trade ex p Duddridge and others" CA 6 October 1995, expert evidence did not establish that there was a risk to health from electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from high-voltage cables forming part of the national grid. The SoS was therefore under no obligation to act or take a `precautionary view`. See also QBD 3 October 1994 WB3037-28.
