This is an excellent result. It seems to me that there has been a real shift in PSLA damages for mesothelioma, which is not fully reflected in the JC guidelines. The entry point seems to have changed and all the recent decisions place general damages in the upper quarter of the guidelines. The JC guidelines need to be amended in my view.
