The recent Court of Appeal decision in Raggett demonstrates for me the need to ensure that you have good and sound evidence if you are to successfully pursue a sexual abuse claim.
Preperation and research are vital. I have found that you often need to dig hard for the evidence, but it is often there. Plain good sense and justice in the face of solid evidence enables you to have a decent chance of defeating any so-called limitation defence.
Limitation defences are very unattractive in my opinion at the best of times in sexual abuse cases, and even more so when there is good evidence supporting the victim’s claim.
