A Legal Shift: Unpacking the Limitation Law Reforms

In this thought-provoking episode of the H.J. Talks About Abuse podcast, Alan Collins, the head of the abuse team at Hugh James, delves into the intricacies of the proposed reforms to the limitation law in England and Wales. As the government sets its sights on implementing the recommendations from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (ICSA), this solo episode explores the potential impact on survivors of sexual abuse and their journey to justice.

Discover how the removal of the limitation period for child sexual abuse claims aims to dismantle barriers that have long hindered access to justice, while also addressing the challenges of balancing fair trials for defendants. Join Alan as he navigates through the complexities of the legal reforms, drawing insights from similar changes in Scotland and Australia, and discusses the implications for past, present, and future claims.
