Representation in Compensation Cases

Are you making or considering making a PO Compensation claim?

As many readers will know, I sit on the Horizon Compensation Advisory Board. It has come to our attention that some claimants to the Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme (HCRS); to the Capture compensation scheme; and the Horizon Shortfall Scheme Appeals scheme (HSSA) are submitting claims/appeals under the scheme whilst unrepresented.

I wanted to encourage any claimants submitting such claims to get legal representation. Whilst I appreciate that many feel they can or should do this themselves, our experience suggests that representation can improve the quality of claims submitted and may lead to better compensation payments for you.

Lawyers are funded under government schemes, so you do not have to pay, and are listed for the HCRS (here), Capture (here), and HSSA (here).
