I am informed that the SCA has received 90 claims, to date, in respect of COVID-19. These claims relate to service users, staff members and members of the public across delegated state authorities. I understand that the SCA does not, for litigation sensitivity reasons, disclose its contingent liability figures for a particular series or cohort of similar claims.
