Personal injury lawyers have called on Scottish ministers to allow
potentially thousands of historical child abuse cases previously
rejected to be brought again if they lift a time bar on damages claims.
The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) argues the cases should be revived because they were rejected for falling foul a three-year time bar. It said the current reparation system is “unjust” but also said that, as an alternative, a redress scheme could be established to provide compensation to people whose cases were struck out because of the time-bar.
