The High Court yesterday reduced by NT$663 million (US$22.7 million) the compensation to former Radio Corporation of America (RCA) employees who had sued the company over illnesses they say they developed due to exposure to toxic chemicals.
The court ruled that their claims lacked definitive cause-and-effect relationships between their work environment and their illnesses.
The ruling reduced the compensation for 1,112 former employees to NT$1.667 billion, down from the NT$2.33 billion that the Taipei District Court ordered RCA to pay in December 2019.
Separate class-action lawsuits were filed against RCA, which operated in Taiwan from 1970 to 1990, on behalf of factory workers
