Valerie Raynor Christina Belboda Eujonte Outerbridge Tio Smith Vincent Robinson v THE CRIMINAL INJURIES COMPENSATION BOARD Valerie Raynor, Litigant in Person Christina Belboda, Litigant in Person Eujonte Outerbridge, No Appearance Tio Smith, Litigant in Person Vincent Robinson, Litigant in Person Wendy Greenidge, Attorney General’s Chambers, for the Respondent Hearing Date: 1 November 2023 [2023] CA (Bda) 23 Civ 2023-11-17 Court of Appeal
Thomas v CICB [2018] CA (Bda) 6 Civ and Tajmal Webb v Criminal Injuries (Compensation) Board [2018] CA (Bda) 2 Civ. It appears from an affidavit which Mr Thomas swore in support of an application seeking leave to appeal out of time that at the time of his affidavit, 16 May 2018, no response had been received from the Board to his attorneys' letter, and counsel confirmed at the hearing that this remained the case. That no response to the MDM letter was ever provided by the Board is something we regard as highly regrettable. Suffice to say that if a considered reply had been given to the MDM letter, it might well be that this appeal could have been avoided. But it was not, and an extension of time within which to pursue the appeal was granted on 26 July 2018. 2018-11-14 Court of Appeal
Tajmal Webb v Criminal Injuries (Compensation) Board 2018-03-23 Court of Appeal
Herbie Spencer v Criminal Injuries (Compensation) Board [2015] CA (Bda) 2 Civ 20 March 2015. Both cases recognised the efficacy of using the Tariff, which, coincidentally, Dr Chelvam had been involved in preparing. Its purpose was to provide for a standard amount of compensation for injuries of various descriptions. As indicated in those cases, the Tariff does not yet appear to have any legislative or regulatory backing, but that does not detract from its use as a guide. As Stuart-Smith JA pointed out in Raynor, at paragraph 12, "Although the Tariff does not have the force of regulations, there is no reason at all why the Board should not regard it as a helpful guide to the injuries with which it deals. But it is no more than a guide….". 2018-03-23 Court of Appeal
