The Deputy will appreciate that, in matters of this nature, it is not open to me to provide legal advice. As regards this particular case, the Deputy will be aware that under the terms of the Scheme of Compensation for Personal Injuries Criminally Inflicted, the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal is wholly independent in its operations. I am sure the Deputy will therefore appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to comment on an individual application which is before the Tribunal.
