Description
This guide is designed as a systematic commentary on the provisions of the revised Criminal Injuries Compensation scheme, as amplified in the guide to the scheme published by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board in February 1990, and as interpreted by the English courts and the Board in particular cases. The text aims to guide readers through the administrative maze that has developed since the scheme's inception in 1964. After recounting the history of the scheme and the composition of the Board, the author examines the entitlement of the victims, the Board's powers to reduce or refuse compensation, and the assessment of the amount payable to victims or their dependants. In addition to providing an explanation of the Board's practice and procedure, the text addresses a number of alternative sources of compensation.
