Armed Forces (Statute of Limitations) Bill
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill would set time limits on how long after an event someone can take legal action against Armed Forces members for things they did while on duty. It aims to prevent soldiers from facing prosecution or lawsuits for incidents that happened many years ago, but it raises questions about protecting victims who report crimes after a long period.
Presented by Richard Benyon.
