Conclusion
It is currently too difficult for individual survivors to access the courts in the UK when they have been subject to forced labour abroad in the supply chains of UK companies. (Conclusion, Paragraph 270)
Government Response Summary
The government states the Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) review will consider measures to support responsible business, including a 'failure to prevent' obligation. They have also established the Office for RBC (ORBC) to provide a non-judicial dispute resolution mechanism for victims, aiming to improve accessibility to remedy, but do not specifically address court access.
