Compensation Act Update
Compensation Bill Receives Royal AssentDCA Press Release
26 July 2006
The public is to be better safeguarded and claims management
companies more strictly regulated after the Compensation Bill
received Royal Assent yesterday. The Compensation Act 2006 will
also ensure that the recovery of compensation by people who
contract mesothelioma, because they were negligently exposed to
asbestos, will be quicker and simpler. And it will give
reassurance to voluntary organisations and other groups who have
curtailed activities due to a fear of litigation.
