Bob Baillie contacted Peter Williams
of Field Fisher Waterhouse in April 2008. He had been diagnosed
with mesothelioma at Bart’s Hospital. Bob
worked for two companies where he was exposed to significant
amounts of asbestos; Murray Munro Limited in the 1960s and Ford
Motor Company Limited Dagenham. The insurers for Murray Munro were
traced and both Defendants were pursued through the Courts under
the speedy trial provisions. An interim payment of £40,000 was
arranged for July and the case was completed in October 2008, less
than six months after first instruction for the sum of £220,000.
The case was conducted at no cost to Mr Baillie.
“Many thanks for all you have done for me. It has been a
great pleasure meeting you and a delight to know someone who does
not stint on the work he does for others with diseases such as
mine.” – Bob Baillie
