Hi

I am looking to find some decent case law on Hand Arm Vibration problems.

Has anyone got any suggestions on key case law or the best place to get a good list - the web comes in with either nothing or too much and I am struggling a little to see the wood for the trees.

Thanks in Advance

Sara

Try this for starters:

Transco PLC v David Charles Grigg [2003] EWCA Civ 564. The case was dimissed by the Court of Appeal.

Rhesa Shipping SA v Edmunds, The Popi M [1985] 1 WLR 948

Burke v McCaffery & Ors v Glasgow City Council [2005] Scotcs CSOH 155. Case held (won).

Hague v Rexam Glass (Barnsley) Ltd [2006] EWCA Civ 377. Case dismissed.

Mr D. Williams [2001] UKSSCSC CI 2238 (Vibration White Finger)

Google them and it should come up with something.

Regards

Ray

Most providers of case law information charge for their services. However, Bailii is a useful web site for case law, although the full case will be provided and it is a bit heavy going if you are not used to the lingo.
