<p>I have spoken to many business groups and employers who tell me about how the compensation
culture is tying their business in knots. Employers often do the right thing, put
sensible safety procedures in place, and then someone does something daft and the
employer still finds himself facing a negligence claim. The Bill should reassure employers
and others that the courts will always consider the context of their actions before
making a decision on liability. It should also deter claimants from bringing unfounded
claims in the first place thereby helping to reduce insurance premiums. We have published
an impact assessment at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/social-action-responsibility-and-heroism-bill#impact-assessment"
