Stat. § 97-57 | stating that "[d]isablement from asbestosis is defined as `the event of becoming actually incapacitated because of asbestosis . . . to earn, in the same or any other employment, the wages which the employee was receiving at the time of his last injurious exposure to asbestosis'" | plaintiff’s claim that defendant violated lease presented “a matter of contract interpretation and thus, a question of law”
