SCOTLAND
BBC News
The three-year limit on survivors of childhood abuse suing for damages is to be scrapped by MSPs.
The move will allow victims of abuse dating back as far as 1964 to seek compensation for their injuries though the civil courts.
Victims currently have just three years from the date of their injury – or from their 16th birthday – to bring a court action.
The limit will be removed by the Limitation (Childhood Abuse) Bill.
The bill is likely to be unanimously approved when MSPs vote in the Scottish Parliament later.
