CRIMINAL INJURIES COMPENSATION AUTHORITY

64

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme was set up in 1964 to compensate blameless victims of violent crime. Before 1996 awards were set according to what the victim would have received in a successful civil action against the offender. Since April 1996, the level of compensation has been determined according to a tariff set by Parliament. Following the enactment of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Act 1995, CICA was established to administer a tariff based compensation scheme in England, Scotland and Wales. Since 1996 the tariff Scheme has been revised three times, with the latest revisions having been approved by Parliament in November 2012.

The Education and Inspections Act 2006 set out the general duties to be placed on Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector and preserves the Chief Inspector’s independent and sole responsibility for inspection judgements.

OFFICE OF RAIL and ROAD (operating name of the OFFICE OF RAIL REGULATION) The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is the operating name of the Office of Rail Regulation. The Office of Rail Regulation was established on 5 July 2004 under the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003. It replaced the Office of the Rail Regulator. On 1 April 2006, ORR assumed new responsibilities as a combined safety and economic regulator under The Railways Act 2005. It also has concurrent jurisdiction with the Competition and Markets Authority under the Competition Act 1998 as the competition authority for the Railways. As the railway industry’s independent health and safety and economic regulator, the principal functions are to: ensure that Network Rail and HS1 manage the national network efficiently and in a way that meets the needs of its users; encourages continuous health and safety performance; secures compliance with relevant health and safety law, including taking enforcement action as necessary; develops policy and enhances relevant railway health and safety legislation; and licences operators of railway assets, setting the terms for access by operators to the network and other railway facilities, and enforces competition and consumer law in the rail sector. ORR is also a National Statistical Authority for rail statistics. Following the Infrastructure Act 2015, on 1 April 2015, ORR also assumed new responsibilities for monitoring Highway’s England’s management and development of the strategic road network – the motorways and main ‘A’ roads in England. In this role ORR’s role is to ensure that the network is managed to deliver performance, including efficiency, safety and sustainability, for the benefit of road users and the public. We advise the Government on Highways England’s future performance objectives. On 16 March 2015, ORR signed an agreement with the French rail regulator ARAF to establish a collaborative regulatory approach for consistent independent regulation across the Channel Tunnel network. ORR is led by a Board appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport, under the chairmanship of Anna Walker. One Kemble StreetLondonWC2B 4AN

UK SUPREME COURTIn October 2009, The UK Supreme Court replaced the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords as the highest court in the United Kingdom. The 12 Justices of the UK Supreme Court are now explicitly separate from both Government and Parliament. The Court hears appeals on arguable points of law of the greatest public importance, for the whole of the United Kingdom in civil cases, and for England, Wales and Northern Ireland in criminal cases. Additionally, it hears cases on devolution matters under the Scotland Act 1998, the Northern Ireland Act 1988 and the Government of Wales Act 2006. This jurisdiction was transferred to the Supreme Court from the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Since April 2011 the administration of the Supreme Court has also had responsibility for the administration of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The Supreme Court also decides devolution issues, that is issues about whether the devolved executive and legislative authorities in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have acted or propose to act within their powers or have failed to comply with any other duty imposed on them.
