MULTIPLE ASSAULTS

R (LM) v FIRST TIER TRIBUNAL [2011] UKUT 179
These were two linked cases brought under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2001. The numbers of the cases were JR/1406/2009 and JR/1416/2009. The Applicant had been born in 1969 and had been subjected to physical and sexual abuse by her father as well as being abused by a paedophile ring. She made two applications, one in respect of the abuse at home and the other in respect of the abuse that she had suffered as a child. There had been a police investigation, but due to insufficient evidence, no prosecution was warranted. The applications were rejected due to insufficient evidence and the Applicant appealed to the First Tier Tribunal.  Full report here.

R V CRIMINAL INJURIES COMPENSATION BOARD EX PARTE C 3rd February 1999 
The Applicant was the victim of multiple rapes and sexual assaults by five men at her home. She applied to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, which set out a tariff for different categories of injury. There was no separate category for for multiple sexual assaults but the sexual assault (single incident) set out a tariff of £10,000 for non-consensual intercourse by two or more attackers. C submitted separate applications but these were rejected by the Authority because it took the view that the alleged assaults formed a single incident.
