Article summary:
A woman who battled for two years for a payout after contracting an asbestos-related disease has died a day after a judge said she should be paid £240,000. Dianne Willmore, 49, from north Wales, passed away on Thursday from malignant mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer caused mainly by breathing in asbestos. She inhaled the dangerous substance as a pupil at Huyton's Bowring School in Merseyside in the 1970s. Knowsley Council, which is responsible, said its thoughts were with the family.
