Jones & Ors v Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change & Anr [2012] Abercwmboi Phurnacite Works

This case concerned eight lead claims brought by men who had formerly worked at the Abercwmboi Phurnacite Works. Around 250 claimants were part of a joint action, in which they claimed that they had suffered respiratory disease and/or cancer as a consequence of exposure to dust and fumes in the course of working at the phurnacite works.

The Secretary of State conducted proceedings both on his own behalf and on behalf of the Second Defendant, the defunct company which had operated the phurnacite works.
