Prevent the Government from widening the scope of combat immunity.
Servicemen and women injured during combat will be shut out of the justice system under new Government plans to widen the scope of combat immunity to stop claims of negligence coming to court.
Instead, decisions will be left to an MoD appointed assessor.
The MoD’s Better combat compensation consultation, closes on 23 February 2017.
Under the proposals, combat immunity - which provides an exemption from legal liability for members of the armed forces and the government - would apply to all claims brought by those in combat, even when failings occurred far from the battlefield.
