Correspondence and papers.

Solvents as an occupational and environmental health issue entered Nancy Tait's field of vision as early as c.1978, when she attended the International Congress on Occupational Health in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia. The charity gathered information on topic but did not produce a leaflet dedicated to solvents until 1995; see link below.

Fairchild v. Glenhaven Funeral Services Ltd is a leading case on causation in English tort law. It concerned malignant mesothelioma and addressed the causation issues arising if there has been exposure by two or more employers, or if there are periods of self-employment where exposure took place.

In February 2001 the High Court ruled that the widow of Arthur Fairchild, who died of mesothelioma in 1996, could not prove which employer Mr Fairchild was working for when he contracted the illness. The decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal in December 2001. In their judgement in May 2002 the House of Lords set aside existing causation principles and imposed liability upon each exposing employer despite the inability of the victim to demonstrate a causal link between exposure and injury.

From the early 1980s, Nancy Tait maintained very active contacts with a number of solicitors and legal scholars, discussing legal technicalities, news and developments. The resulting body of correspondence mostly accumulated by surname and/or name of law firm and occasionally by the topic under discussion.

For a separate series of solicitors' correspondence, mainly concerning enquiries, see the link below.
