Government Cuts Its Injustice Losses

Home Secretary Outlines Changes to System for
Compensating Miscarriages of Justice
Home Office Press Release
19 April 2006  
The changes, some with immediate effect and others requiring
primary legislation, aim to ensure that compensation payments paid
by the state are proportionate to the level of injustice
experienced by applicants, bringing them more into line with
amounts paid to victims of crime.  And . . .to save £5 million!
