There have been no discussions with the insurance industry regarding the Bill. There is nothing in the Bill which prevents an employee bringing a negligence claim, or which leaves workers without appropriate remedies when they are injured by the negligent actions of irresponsible employers.

Key points agreed in Brighton to define better the boundaries when the Court should and should not be involved in cases are now being implemented. Protocol 15 to the Convention, which helps define these boundaries and shortens the timeframe for application to the Court, will help the Court fulfil the purpose for which it was intended: to deal with the most serious violations of human rights.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bermondsey and Old Southwark answering member printed Simon Hughes question first answered 01/09/2014 16:17:40 answering member 194 label Biography information for Simon Hughes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2014 answer text <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.
