I was reading about this on a blog but this is the first time I have seen it on any sort of news outlet.
All it takes is one mistake and that's it. Your life is [LIFTED] royally and the government and civil service are not liable for it.

There's already going to be a statutory fine if any information on you in the NIR is incorrect (even if it's not your fault), I presume then that this precedent also means that if any incorrect information in the NIR severely [LIFTED] up your life HMG don't owe you a penny. And people tolerate this? Does anyone know if he got Leave to Appeal to the HoL? |
