CONDUCT OF WATSON BURTON IN CONNECTION WITH COAL HEALTH CLAIMS

That this House condemns the actions of the law firm Watson Burton who, by colluding with the claims handling firm P and R Associates, deducted ??325,000 from the compensation of coal health victims; believes that Watson Burton should have informed their clients that there was no need to deduct money from their compensation; and further believes that Watson Burton should pay back those former miners and widows of former miners who have had their rightful compensation reduced as a result of these unscrupulous practices.
