Key Principle

In an asbestos disease claim the claimant bears the burden of proving, on the balance of probabilities, that the relevant culpable exposure occurred during employment with the particular defendant, and a claim fails where the chain of fact-finding inferences (here, that asbestos-containing soffit boards were cut near the deceased) is not established.
