Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley's ongoing failure to compensate victims of historical abuse in the absence of a Stormont executive is not unlawful, a High Court judge in Belfast has ruled

The proposals put forward by the HIA inquiry, chaired by retired judge Anthony Hart, are mired in uncertainty due to the Stormont impasse. A public consultation on the proposed shape of the compensation scheme closed last month, but the plans cannot be implemented without intervention by the UK government.
