[1] | (a)Dismissals reported in the table above include the dismissal of approximately 16 thousand claims in 2013 and 12 thousand in 2012, which were considered pending inactive claims. There were no inactive claims dismissed during 2014. Inactive claims represent pending claims in Mississippi filed in 2004 or prior, which have been excluded from our asbestos measurement because the plaintiffs cannot demonstrate a significant compensable loss. As such, management believes these claims have little to no value.
