Justice

(Return to the manifesto)

1. The Common People will immediately accept government liability and expedite compensation payments within the 5-year lifetime of the parliament in the following cases:
   1. Post-Office Horizon scandal - While some settlements have been paid, over 550 additional appeals remain unresolved and the present government maintains there are no grounds for further liability payouts.
   2. Undercover policing - Claims from additional women yet to reach settlement or conclusion. The government admits ethical issues but is resisting legal liability.
   3. Windrush scandal - Despite apologies and some compensation, the government has not admitted formal legal liability for hardships faced by Windrush immigrants.
   4. Historical institutional abuse - Allegations around abuse in children's homes in Northern Ireland. The government has not accepted liability and disputes around compensation remain.
   5. Covid-19 healthcare worker deaths - No liability accepted over claims that lack of PPE led to the deaths of frontline staff. Families pursuing legal action.
