Synopsis
Helena Kennedy QC examines the ways in which the best intentions in legal reform can sometimes produce unexpected and unpalatable consequences.
Helena examines the rise of litigation and so-called compensation culture in the UK. It has resulted partly as a consequence of the campaigns for greater access and accountability pioneered by those very liberal lawyers who are now the compensation culture's sternest legal critics.
