The family of an Oxford man who died from asbestos-related cancer are set to receive almost £100,000 in compensation.

Former railway worker Dudley Maasz died in July 2006, a year after he was diagnosed with mesothelioma.

His family argued that the illness was caused by exposure to asbestos while working as an engine cleaner and fireman on the railways.

BRB (Residuary) Ltd, formerly British Rail, agreed to an out-of-court settlement of £98,000 in damages.
