Personally I think its completely wrong.
If you are being punished for your crime and in prison that should be it.

Correct me if I am wrong but if someone in your familiy get murdered or something you can not claim compo off them?

Its saying commit a crime do you time, but never do well for yourself and move on in your life otherwise that will get taken off you.

He should of never been allow to play the lottery, but fact remains that prison is about rehabilitation. And she should of been told to fuck off.

Doesn't mean they've learned anything from it, or make it any better for those they have abused/murdered etc etc.

Question really is does 'time' put you back in the good books. Not necessarily IMO.

The Lotto is for everyone, you can't start excluding people because of their past.

I'm not sticking up for this bloke as he is quite clearly scum, but I don't think it's right he can be sued for earnings after the event.

No but prison is based on the theory of rehabilitation, if you start saying once your released we are still going to take from you if your sucuesfull, how many people will Rehabilite

Don't get me wrong I hate it in the US than criminals are not allow to vote, I have no problem with people have equal rights when released from prison but when your still inside, you should still be being punished.

I did say not necessarily. Something like a murder or abuse or whatever, where someone has suffered and lost out (loss of earnings or whatever).

If they can't sue at the time because the criminal has no money, should that just be the end of the matter? If, like in this case, the criminal comes into a bit amount of money, I see little reason why the victim shouldn't be able to claim.

Judge each case on its merits and all that.

But 16 years later? The law is meant to be 6 years.

As I say, judge each case on its merits. If the person has lost out big time, over many years, why not?

If I committed a crime like that I'd lose my job and my right to work doing what I do, soon run out of cash. He's probably jobless scum anyway, so giving her some of his cash will hurt him the same way that any hardworking person would be if they got sued.

Heres an idea, certain crimes should restrict and benefits.

Rape, Murder, Fraud etc criminals should not have any rights to take part in such things.

He did work in a factory and back then he had no cash so she didn't sue, now she IS sueing because he can afford the compensation.

It's just this culture.

In 1989 when it happened, even if he was a millionaire she wouldn't have even thought about it.

u2u gsi-gaz and see if he's interested.

I remember doing about this case at A-level 2 years ago. Once more it will open the floodgates for thousands of people from back in the day re-appear and want to claim damages
