Victims and Courts BillContribution
Overall, the changes respond directly to long-standing calls for a more transparent and accessible process. They will ensure that victims are informed about the scheme and that where the 28 day deadline cannot be met, there is a fair route to apply within six months where the interests of justice demand it. These measures will make a real and lasting difference to other victims and families in the future.
