Asbestos and Cape plc
Leigh Day & Co has successfully represented the rights of asbestos workers and their families in South Africa.
Asbestos miners and workers in Africa have been largely unprotected from the dangers of asbestos fibres during their working lives. Meanwhile the multinational company that owns the mines has been able to operate free from legal claims.
It is difficult for people to get justice for their injuries in developing countries because the small companies that own the mines and factories have little money or insurance and workers rights are poorly protected.
