Insurers Companies And Asbestos Victims
EDM number 1186 in 2001-02, proposed by Michael Clapham on 23/04/2002.
That this House supports the criticism made by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers of the insurer's last minute offer to settle the Fairchild, Fox and Mathews mesothelioma cases as a cynical and underhanded attempt to prevent the cases being heard by the House of Lords, hence leaving hundreds of other cases at the mercy of last year's Court of Appeal judgement; and regrets that it has caused the claimants to have to wait another month to find out whether they can have their compensation.
This motion has been signed by a total of 100 MPs.
