An appeal by Scottish Power against a decision to award damages to the widow and other family of a former employee who died of mesothelioma in 2018 has been refused by the Inner House of the Court of Session.

A Lord Ordinary has ruled that the widow of a man who died from mesothelioma arising from asbestos exposure during his employment is entitled to seek damages despite an earlier action raised while the deceased was alive being settled.

The family of a man who died after raising an action against his former employer for damages related to asbestos-related lung cancer has been permitted to enter the claim by a judge in the Outer House of the Court of Session.
