London - Four journalists yesterday failed in a High Court fight for compensation arising from "upper limb disorders" allegedly suffered using computers at the Financial Times.
Mr Justice Ian Kennedy ruled in favour of the FT in claims brought by four former sub-editors on the newspaper. He concluded: "I remain unpersuaded that the plaintiffs have on the balance of probability suffered from the physical problems they variously set out to establish."
During the case the journalists had argued that their injury was biomechanical while the FT argued it was psycho-social. In his ruling the judge pointed out that the case was not about Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).
