A 2025 book by David Kinley from Johns Hopkins University Press on lawyer Richard Meeran's litigation against the British company Cape Plc for South Africans who worked in or lived near its asbestos mines and mills at Prieska, Koegas and Penge. Drawing on interviews, the author follows the case from 1995, when the National Union of Mineworkers approached Meeran, through the House of Lords ruling of July 2000 that let it proceed in England, to a £10.6 million settlement in 2003 with Cape and Gencor. Claimants eventually numbered 7,506.
