<title>Australian Court Finds DDT Judge Erred In Finding CSR Owed Duty Of Care</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[SYDNEY, Australia - An Australian appeals court on Oct. 19 found that a trial judge erred when he ruled that a former asbestos mining company was partially liable and owed a duty of care to a woman who developed mesothelioma after brief exposure to asbestos cement products while helping with home renovations as a child, reversing a ruling ordering it to pay half of a settlement reached between the claimant and the manufacturer of the products (CSR Ltd. v. Amaca Pty Ltd, No. [2009] NSWCA 338, New South Wales Sup. App.; See July 2008, Page 4).

<title>Court Grants Appeal Of Compensation Denial For Factory Worker's Daughter</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[LONDON - An England and Wales court on Nov. 6 allowed an appeal of a ruling that denied compensation for the daughter of a former factory worker who died of mesothelioma and found that she failed to prove that her mother's exposure to asbestos at work more than doubled her risk of developing the disease when combined with environmental exposures, finding that the trial judge erred in his quantitative assessment of the exposure (Karen Sienkiewicz (administratix of the Estate of Enid Costello) v. Greif (UK) Ltd., No. [2009] EWCA Civ. 1159, England and Wales App.).
