In his Judgment on the 27th January 1998, HH Judge Whitburn says:

For the defendants it was conceded that their duty was to carry out a review of the pressing task in December, 1991. There is now the formal obligation imposed as from the 1st January, 1993 by the Management Regulations, 1992 and the Manual Handling Regulations, 1992. It is accepted that by that date the provision of elasticated supports and the complaints of arm pain by certain of the employees should have prompted a review, as would the state of knowledge that a reasonable employer within the garment industry ought to have had. I accept that had this been done no fault would have been found in the system of work or the equipment at the factory.
