Martin Partington: Spotlight on the Justice System

In August 2020, I noted that the Government had launched a consultation on the Criminal Injuries Compensation scheme. See https://martinpartington.com/2020/08/24/reviewing-the-criminal-injuries-compensation-scheme/.

In December 2020, the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority and the Ministry of Justice published revised guidance on how to make a claim under the scheme. The revised guidance is not, it seems, the fruit of the consultation exercise but simply an administrative update for those who might be considering an application to the scheme.

I will report on the outcome of the consultation in due course.

The updated guidance is at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/criminal-injuries-compensation-a-guide#contents
