Exhibit 99.1

                      PATENT INFRINGEMENT DECISION AMENDED

     HAMILTON,  BERMUDA,  April 3, 2002--Foster Wheeler Ltd. (NYSE:FWC) reported
today that the United States  District Court for the Northern  District of Texas
has entered an amended final judgment in the matter of KOCH ENGINEERING COMPANY,
INC. ET AL VS. GLITSCH, INC. ET AL.

     Glitsch, Inc., a non-operating Foster Wheeler subsidiary now known as Tray,
Inc., sold substantially all of its business and assets in 1997.

     As previously  reported by the Company, a judgment was entered in this case
on November 29, 1999 awarding plaintiffs  compensatory and punitive damages plus
prejudgment  interest  in an amount yet to be  calculated.  This  amended  final
judgment in the amount of  $54,283,129  includes  such  interest  for the period
beginning  in 1983  when the  lawsuit  was  filed  through  entry  of  judgment.
Post-judgment  interest  will accrue at the rate of 5.471 percent per annum from
November 29, 1999.

     Tray, Inc. believes that the Court's decision contains numerous factual and
legal errors subject to reversal on appeal.  The amendment  allows appeal of the
judgment  to be filed  within 30 days.  Tray,  Inc.  intends to file a notice of
appeal immediately.
