Compensation Act 2006

The Compensation Act 2006 is a UK law designed to clarify how compensation claims are handled. It aims to balance the rights of individuals injured or harmed due to others' actions with the need to avoid a "compensation culture" that could discourage beneficial activities, like caring for others or running businesses. The Act encourages courts to consider fairness in judgments and emphasizes the importance of ensuring that people who are genuinely injured receive appropriate compensation while protecting against excessive or frivolous claims. Ultimately, it seeks to foster a fair and responsible compensation system.
