DIANNE WILLMORE AND COURT OF APPEAL
That this House is extremely saddened by the death of Dianne Willmore from mesothelioma; notes the outcome of her case as heard in the Civil Court of Appeal on 14 October 2009; welcomes this landmark ruling which will enable pupils exposed to asbestos whilst at school to be awarded damages from negligent councils should they contract mesothelioma; regrets that her death renders the decision too late to improve her own life; and looks forward to further victims of mesothelioma being able to use Dianne's case as a basis for redress in the future.
