The Fukuoka High Court, where a man who worked at a factory that handled asbestos complained that the state of compensation proceeded by the state was unfair to people who suffered health problems, And decided to abandon the appeal.
When the government received the judgment of the Supreme Court five years ago over the health damage caused by asbestos, the people who worked at the factory between 1958 and 1946 and caused the health damage settled it. We are proceeding with procedures to pay compensation.
However, it is unreasonable for a Kitakyushu city man who worked at an asbestos factory and became lung cancer to determine the amount of compensation based on the day when the country was recognized as an industrial accident, not the day when he was diagnosed with illness. I did not accept the settlement.
In this regard, the Fukuoka High Court last month acknowledged the man's appeal and gave a ruling that ordered the country to pay more than the standard.
As for the trial, the appeal deadline for the Supreme Court on the 11th is the result of discussions by related ministries such as the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. As a result, “Appeals can only be made in cases of violation of the Constitution, and this time we have to accept it.” As a result, the company decided to give up the appeal.
A similar judicial decision was presented last month in the district courts in Kobe and Hiroshima, and the country has appealed, but it seems to have an impact on these cases.
