answer text

There has been no compensation paid to Gerard Adams relating to litigation against the Northern Ireland Office. There have been two other appeals to have convictions overturned that have been allowed. There are a further two who have filed applications for leave to appeal, which have not yet been dealt with. There are a number of internment-related civil claims against the Northern Ireland Office. The claims are asking for compensation on the basis of the claimants’ view that they were unlawfully detained on a similar basis to Mr Adams. None of these have been settled and the vast majority have not progressed far beyond the pre-action stage.
