Mesothelioma Scheme Announced

 Government to Act on Mesothelioma Claims
DCA Press Release
20 June 2006
I intend to bring forward an amendment to the Compensation Bill to
provide that in these cases negligent employers should be jointly
and severally liable, so that the claimant can recover full
compensation from any relevant employer. It would then be open to
that employer to seek a contribution to the damages awarded from
other negligent employers.
