HSBC today failed to overthrow a court ruling awarding damages to five former employees of the bank who claimed their work had caused repetitive strain injury (RSI).
The ruling is a further endorsement of RSI as a recognised medical condition and follows research published in last week's Lancet which provided new physical evidence (see http://www.silicon.com/a31560 ).
Last May, HSBC (formerly Midland Bank) was forced to pay a total of £60,000 to the workers who had developed RSI after work rates increased sharply.
The failed appeal leaves HSBC facing legal costs of up to £600,000.
