The High Court ruled that Diane Willmore was entitled to compensation after developing mesothelioma from her asbestos exposure.  She was exposed to asbestos while a student at Huyton’s Bowring School during the 1970’s.  This is a landmark case because it’s the first time an asbestsos exposure in school case has been ruled for the student.  It may bring compensation and relief to other exposure victims.

Mrs.  Willmore had been suffering from mesothelioma since 2007 and has been involved with the court case since then.  She passed away the day after the court ruled in her favour.  Family, friends, and advocates are praising Diane for her courage and how she has affected the lives of others that have been or will be exposed to asbestos in the schools.
