Fiji nuclear veterans sign up legal help for British compo bid Radio New Zealand 10 June 09

Fiji nuclear service veterans have signed an agreement with their London-based lawyers to help them claim compensation from the British government following a court ruling.

The British High Court ruled last Friday that ex-servicemen exposed to the atomic tests off Christmas Island and Australia in the 1950s can sue the UK government for compensation.

About 300 Fiji servicemen took part in the tests and about 200 surviving veterans or their families are now seeking compensation for ill health.

Fijilive reports that members of the Fiji Nuclear Test Veterans Association met with London-based law firm Rosenblatt Solicitors to sign the agreement.
