Any other outcome would be deeply offensive to instinctive notions of what justice requires and fairness demands. The real difficulty lies is elucidating in sufficiently specific terms the principle being applied in reaching this conclusion. To be acceptable the law must be coherent. It must be principled.\u201d [36]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u2018but for\u2019 test would be inappropriate to use here as it should not trump the harm suffered by the claimants where it cannot be proved under which employer the cancer was caused<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cgood policy reasons exist for departing from the usual threshold &#8220;but for&#8221; test of causal connection. Inhalation of asbestos dust carries a risk of mesothelioma. That is one of the very risks from which an employer&#8217;s duty of care is intended to protect employees. Tragically, each claimant acquired this fatal disease from wrongful exposure to asbestos dust in the course of his employment. A former employee&#8217;s inability to identify which particular period of wrongful exposure brought about the onset of his disease ought not, in all justice, to preclude recovery of compensation.\u201d [41]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It did not have to be proved how one employer caused the harm, their tortious negligence was enough to show the material increase of risk employees were put through<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cSo long as it was not insignificant, each employer&#8217;s wrongful exposure of its employee to asbestos dust and, hence, to the risk of contracting mesothelioma, should be regarded by the law as a sufficient degree of causal connection. This is sufficient to justify requiring the employer to assume responsibility for causing or materially contributing to the onset of the mesothelioma when, in the present state of medical knowledge, no more exact causal connection is ever capable of being established\u201d [42]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legal Principles and Key Points Facts of Fairchild v Glenhaven Funeral Services [2003] 1 AC 32 Issues in Fairchild v Glenhaven Funeral Services [2003] 1 AC 32 Held by the House of Lords Lord Nicholls Lord Nicholls, in agreement with the other Lords hearing the case, allowed the appeal believing that disallowing it would be [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":13103,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-13870","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-case-summaries","8":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.4 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Case Summary: Fairchild v Glenhaven Funeral Services [2003] 1 AC 32 | Careerinlaw.net | UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The case of Fairchild v Glenhaven Funeral Services [2003] 1 AC 32 concerned the use of the \u2018materially increased risk\u2019 of harm test in lieu of the \u2018but for\u2019 test to ensure a remedy was awarded and justices was given to the claimants;
