Abstract

The Young review of health and safety and the compensation culture represents a missed opportunity for meaningful debate on compensation issues. Instead it perpetuates the myth of the compensation culture which preliminary research by the Centre for Dispute Resolution, Compensation & Risk at the University of Lincoln suggests is exaggerated.
However, Lord Young’s conclusion that the Jackson reforms on civil justice should be implemented are welcomed.
