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.
