POSTED 10 Feb 2011 . BY Tom Walker
Sunbed owners could find themselves facing claims for damages following a landmark case in Australia.

Jay Allen, 35, regularly used sunbeds over a four-year period at two health clubs and was later diagnosed with skin cancer, stage-three melanoma.

After taking legal action against the operator of the centres, Allen was awarded an undisclosed settlement and has vowed to continue his fight for a national ban on sunbeds in Australia.
