John Swinney removes time bar limiting abuse survivors on court action

John Swinney is to remove a three year time bar which constrains the ability of child abuse victims to seek civil damages in court.
The Deputy First Minister published legislation to get rid of the time bar, which requires those who want to raise a personal injury action for damages to do so within three years of the date on which the injuries were sustained.
