Funded Activity Summary

Legal Responses to Systemic Injuries: Towards a New Paradigm for Compensation. This research aims to identify better and fairer ways for the legal system to respond to systemic injuries, such as the taking of indigenous children from their families, or widespread abuse of children in institutional settings. The tort system is under attack from various quarters: in this context, its failure lies in its focus on harms that happen on a one-to-one, rather than a systemic basis. The research will review redress schemes established in other countries (most notably Canada and Ireland) with a view to developing better and more appropriate legal responses to widespread contemporary harms.
