British lawyers acting for Fijian veterans affected by nuclear testing during the fifties and sixties are hoping that the British Ministry of Defence will finally agree to sit down and discuss compensation. The legal team is back in London after meeting in Fiji with the surviving servicemen and relatives of those who have died. A British court has ruled that the nuclear veterans are able to pursue their claims. Neil Sampson from the British legal firm Rosenblatt says that hopefully the government will accept the court ruling, despite its previous determination to fight any attempts for recognition by around one thousand veterans spread across the world.
