520 _aDiscusses the current situation with mesothelioma claims. Notes the impact of "Fairchild v Glenhaven" ([2001] EWCA Civ 1881, Abs65719) and the Compensation Act 2006, which provides that negligent employers should be jointly and severally liable so claimants can recover full compensation from any employer. Also looks at proposals to provide faster compensation to people diagnosed with mesothelioma, concern over plans to introduce a pre-action protocol, and the experiences of lawyers working for mesothelioma victims.
