Mesothelioma As A Civil Specialism

EDM number 1349 in 2005-06, proposed by Michael Clapham on 11/01/2006.

That this House welcomes the expeditious processing, over the last three years, of asbestos-induced cancer cases by the introduction of a fast track system in the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court; recognises that it has dramatically reduced litigation time for both live plaintiffs and surviving relations; is concerned that this progress has been put in jeopardy by the Department for Constitutional Affairs in its consultation paper Focussing Judicial Resources Appropriately - The Right Judge for the Right Case by proposing an end to some civil specialisms including mesothelioma; and calls on the Lord Chancellor to review the proposal and recognise mesothelioma as a specialism.

This motion has been signed by a total of 73 MPs.
