International Asbestos Litigation Forum

Analysing the latest global asbestos litigation developments to effectively manage claims

Introduction

In the past 12 months, there has been a series of significant developments in asbestos litigation. The recent Supreme Court’s decision in Sienkiewicz and Willmore [2011] has far-reaching implications for those pursing and defending low level exposure cases. Pleural plaques litigation is continuing to prove problematic, with the insurance industry planning to appeal to the Supreme Court after failing in their judicial review of the Damages (Asbestos-related Conditions) (Scotland) Act. The EL trigger litigation is also an ongoing concern with the Supreme Court set to hear the appeal later this year.

Featuring a truly esteemed multi-disciplinary panel of speakers, many of which have been involved in the most recent ground-breaking cases, Butterworths forthcoming International Asbestos Litigation Forum will analyse all the recent developments enabling you to effectively manage claims.
