"The B.C. Court of Appeal has overturned a ruling that found laws protecting asbestos removal workers from the deadly substance were too complex to enforce.

In February last year, B.C. Supreme Court Justice George Macintosh refused to find that Mike Singh, the owner of a Lower Mainland asbestos-removal contractor, and his son, Shawn Singh, were in contempt of court for violating a 2012 court order.

The judge found that the terms of the order requiring the Singhs to comply with the Workers Compensation Act and its regulations were too voluminous and difficult to understand."
