Overseas Operations Bill “denies access to justice”, says Thompsons

Thompsons has said that the Overseas Operations Bill has implications for access to justice for armed forces personnel injured through no fault of their own. Trevor Hall, a military claims specialist at Thompsons Solicitors, said: “The Overseas Operations Bill will place a strict six-year time limit on military personnel bringing a claim for injuries sustained serving abroad. This serves no purpose other than to deny them access to justice.”
