Sloper v Lloyds Bank Plc
[2016] EWHC 483 (QB)
Key Principle
In an occupational asbestos/mesothelioma claim turning on events decades earlier, a claimant's uncorroborated recollection of historic working conditions must be weighed against contemporaneous documentary evidence, and a claim will fail where the evidence does not reliably establish exposure to asbestos.
