Thank you for your letter of 25 May regarding payment of interest on your compensation claim. The Home Office has received the judgement of the House of Lords in the Steed case and is considering its terms very carefully. The case centred on whether or not the County Court could hear a claim for interest from Mr Steed - not whether interest was in fact payable, a point still to be resolved. I hope you find this helpful. Jane Stearman Executive Officer -- No! Steve. -------[Cybershooters contacts]-------- Editor: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website & subscription info: www.cybershooters.org
