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

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.
