"Pulmonary dust disease", which resembled all symptoms of asbestosis read the official diagnosis of the plaintiff had received. The applicant claimed that the defendants knew of the danger of asbestos, or at least had a commitment of the risk aware, but not to warn him. Charges were dropped on six of the original defendants; the other five agreed finally on a compensation settlement, which will be outside of the Court. But the story ends here, because in 1969, another against some action of the same defendants by a former employee of previous claimant was submitted.
