A SCAFFOLDER seeking more than £1m compensation from the owners of Fawley refinery faces an anxious wait for the outcome of the case.

Following a four-day hearing a High Court judge has reserved his decision on whether scaffolding erector Graham Wood should receive the huge payout.

Mr Wood, 42, from Doncaster, claims he has suffered from breathing problems since a gas leak at the refinery in June 2005.

His barrister, Jonathan Clarke, told the court: “Ever since a few hours after this happened he has been plagued by respiratory symptoms and, to this day, remains on the strongest inhalers available.”

Mr Wood is suing Esso Petroleum for damages – mainly for lost earnings, plus “pain and suffering”.

But Esso has denied liability, saying none of the other people in the same area as Mr Wood suffered any problems.
