A WELCOME UPDATED EDITION TO THE ARMED FORCES COMPENSATION SCHEME FOR 2022
An appreciation by Elizabeth Robson Taylor MA of Richmond Green Chambers and Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers, Reviews Editor, “The Barrister”, and Mediator
This second edition of an authoritative work has been written by Andrew Bano. Bano is a former president of the War Pensions and Armed Forces Compensation Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal. The beauty of this edition is that he takes full account of legal cases and developments since publication of the first edition.
We found that “War Pensions and Armed Forces Compensation: Law and Practice” remains a comprehensive reference work for practitioners covering law and practice in all aspects of war pensions and armed forces compensation.
Bano’s book provides us with a thorough explanation of the provisions of the Service Pensions Order 2006 and of the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme 2011, as interpreted by the nominated judges and by the judges of the Upper Tribunal and the appellate courts. This Wildy title, always practical, covers the procedure for making a claim, bringing an appeal, and practice and procedure before the First-tier Tribunal (in England and Wales) and Pensions Appeal Tribunals (in Scotland and Northern Ireland), together with guidance on bringing appeals to the Upper Tribunal.
As with all titles which come to us from Wildy, it’s designed to be a practical and easily understood guide to the processes involved for those new to this area of law. It will be of great assistance for all advisers concerned with commencing and handling war pensions and armed forces compensation claims and appeals. As always, advisers and practitioners do rely on these specialist legal titles Wildy publish because they make our work so much easier!
For possibly the first time, the book also offers, in the nearly one-hundred-year history of war pensions appeals, “a comprehensive analysis of the legal principles underlying entitlement to compensation for those injured or killed in the service of their country”. And the information is all contained in one volume.
We feel that this book will also be of interest to all those involved in the development of our oldest system of welfare benefits, and the way in which the special position of the armed forces is reflected in the injury compensation schemes.
The Law Society Gazette accurately commented on the book stating that it is “an excellent publication which should be close at hand for any practitioner advising personnel in personal injury, employment and occupational claims.” Brilliantly summed up!
The date of publication of this new second hardback edition is cited as 31st January 2022.
