Government plans to repeal sections of the Northern Ireland Troubles Act 2023 may mean that IRA members can claim damages for internment paid by the tax payer. Experts say this could cost us millions.
'Hilary Benn, the Northern Ireland Secretary, said that the decision to repeal the law underlined “the Government’s absolute commitment to the Human Rights Act”.'

From what I can see it’s more complex than the headline suggests and the headlines are half a story with an anti Labour twist from the Telegraph.
The government’s hand has been forced after the Northern Ireland High Court ruled that the 2023 Northern Ireland Troubles Act was incompatible will the Human Rights Act following legislation which was initiated in the Northern Ireland Court. There are several historical cases which have lead up to this (mainly lost by our government) which eventually resulted in the last government introducing legislation which wouldn’t stand the test of scrutiny.
I’m not for 1 minute in favour of paying Adam’s and his ilk or the loyalists on the other side any compo, but I do believe in the rule of law whether I like the decisions or not.
It’s time to revisit the HRA and tweak it so it can’t be abused. | | | |

So is the best way forward to amend the HRA rather than the Northern Ireland Troubles Act? | | | |

The NI Troubles Act is “illegal” and looks dead in the water, I suspect the same principles, even if applied in some kind of new legislation will still fall foul of of the NI High Court ruling.
We Gould change the HR Act to address other things we aren’t happy about, such as not being able to deport criminals etc. | | | |

Wonder if family members of victims of IRA terrorism can now sue the IRA members who get cash payments. | |

"The legal basis for this decision stems from a controversial Supreme Court ruling that overturned the established Carltona principle. This principle allowed powers conferred on a secretary of state to be exercised by others, such as a Minister of State, ensuring the efficient functioning of government. The Supreme Court's judgment in the case of R v Adams disrupted this long-standing precedent and opened the door for claims of wrongful imprisonment by individuals like Adams"
Why has this government been so quick to p++s off so many in so little time , pensioners, farmers, employers it seems everyone .The PO scandal for example where innocent and vindicated innocent sub post masters still waiting to be recompensed ,now we have another decision by Starmer to allow terrorists to claim yet more money form us the tax payer , I wonder if that's been fully costed because it wasn't mentioned in their manifesto. I stand corrected it is in their manifesto in that they were looking to repealing the Legacy and Reconciliation Act.

The law bearing on this topic is complex and may be further contested. It seems that Starmer is exploring other ways to block civil proceedings in pursuit of compensation, which had been prohibited by the Legacy Act in a way that the NI High Court ruled was incompatible with the Windsor Agreement and the ECHR. It isn't yet clear that this court judgement will set a principle on this matter that cannot be overturned. This is the Policy Exchange's take on the judgement.

Well its not a Brits thing, its a Tory thing.
At the time the BBC said ‘ The controversial act has been opposed by victims' groups and all the main political parties in Northern Ireland - while the UK government maintains the law is human rights compliant and draws a line under the past’.
All the political parties in NI opposed this load of Tory bs.
Victims groups also opposed this Bill. |  |

But factually the Tories raised this bill that nobody supported.
Incompetent and unfit to govern - which is why they were thrown out in disgrace. | |
