APIL says law for bereaved families “not fit for purpose”

The law for bereaved families in relation to compensation is not fit for purpose in a modern, civilised society, according to the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL). It said that unmarried partners, step-children and step-parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, and single fathers are all victims of a “cruel oversight” in the law for bereaved families.
