Recommendation 16
16
Introduce binding timeframes and financial penalties for Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme administrators.
Recommendation
The Government must introduce binding timeframes for administrators at each stage of the process under the Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme, with financial penalties awarded to the claimant if these deadlines are not met. As with the Horizon Shortfall Scheme and Group Litigation Order Scheme, these timeframes should only be applied on the Government’s side so that claimants have the space and time needed to consider their offer. (Recommendation, Paragraph 63) 27 Transparency for legal costs
