Thomas Timms v. Barclay Curle Limited & Corus UK Limited & Refractory Services Limited [2007] CSOH 166

Description

Proof - Reparation:- The pursuer, a 67 year old man, formerly worked as a welder. At various stages during the course of his working life he worked as a welder for the three defenders. Since retiring from his employment the pursuer was diagnosed with a serious form of interstitial lung disease. It was the pursuer's case that he suffered from asbestosis as a direct result of exposure to asbestos during his employment with the defenders. The pursuer also claimed that he had pleural plaques. The defenders contended that the pursuer suffered from a condition that was not related to asbestos exposure and the defenders submitted that they were not responsible for the pursuer's condition. Here the court, following proof, considered whether the pursuer suffered from asbestosis contracted through exposure to asbestos during the course of his employment with the defenders. In addition the court also considered whether the pursuer suffered from pleural plaques. The court also considered the level of damages in the event that the pursuer's case was established.
