LORD PHILLIPS
Introduction
'90. Between October 1952 and September 1958 the respondent
(“MoD”) carried out experimental explosions in the
atmosphere of a total of 21 thermonuclear devices. This was a
mammoth operation. It took place in Australia and the South Pacific
and involved approximately 22,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen,
many of whom were performing National Service. From these
servicemen are drawn the majority of the 1011 claimants, most of
whom commenced a group action on 23 December 2004 but a minority of
whom have joined the action by claim forms issued on various dates
between 16 November 2007 and 29 September 2008. They have become
known as “atomic veterans” and I shall call them
“the veterans”. Some of the claims are brought by the
personal representatives of veterans who have died. Each claim
alleges breach of duty on the part of the MoD in exposing the
veteran to radiation that has caused illness, disability or death.
I shall refer to these alleged consequences, which in most cases
involve some form of cancer, simply as “injuries”.'
UK nuclear veterans timed out?
By Sue Roff , Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 3 October 2012
'UK atomic and nuclear veterans may have to turn to the European
Court of Human Rights -- which can make decisions that are binding
on the UK and other countries that have ratified the European
Convention on Human Rights -- if they are to win compensation or a
fairer pension scheme. A dozen years ago, they were turned away by
that court and told to go back to the UK courts to explore the
domestic remedies more fully. The Supreme Court decision means that
they have exhausted those UK avenues and will now, perhaps, be
eligible for re-consideration'.
