Bolton Metropolitan BC v Municipal Mutual Insurance & Anr, High Ct, 2/6/2005

Description

Mesothelioma: The inhalation of potentially harmful asbestos fibres was held not to be an "accidental bodily injury or illness" within the wording of certain public liability insurance policies, but the onset of mesothelioma when a cell became malignant was held to fall within this wording, and the public liability insurer was accordingly liable if mesothelioma occurred during the currency of the policy.
