Despite settling the case the companies did not accept liability.

One of the main defendants was Wilcox & Co (limousines) ltd, and according to Hutchinson's solicitor they were able to obtain witness evidence to confirm that the workshops in which Hutchinson worked were "ridden with asbestos dust."
