| ROBERT McINNES V BARTON ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, SWAN HUNTER SHIPBUILDERS |
|
| Mr McInnes, aged 58, was employed as an electrician with London Transport when he developed
mesothelioma in October 2002 and died from his illness in March 2004.
|
|
| Mrs McInnes, his wife, was devastated by the loss of her husband and was very reluctant to pursue a
claim for damages. She was persuaded to do so by family and friends who gave her support throughout the claim.
|
|
| Proceedings were commenced in January 2005. The defendants admitted liability making an offer to
settle three months before trial in the sum of £110,000. This is a familiar tactic by defendants
who are aware that widows in particular are vulnerable and therefore susceptible to any sort of
significant offer and despite the reluctance of the claimant she was persuaded to reject the defendants
offer and received an award of £200,000.
