WHAT DOES COMPENSATION CULTURE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Compensation culture

'Compensation culture' is a pejorative term used to imply that, within a society, a significant number of claims for compensation for torts are unjustified, frivolous or fraudulent, and that those who seek compensation should be criticised. It is used to describe a "where there's blame, there's a claim" culture of litigiousness in which compensation is routinely and improperly sought without being based on the application of legal principles such duty of care, negligence or causation. Ronald Walker QC defines it as "an ethos all misfortunes short of an Act of God are probably someone else's fault, and that the suffering should be relieved, or at any rate marked, by the receipt of a sum of money." The notion of a compensation culture has also been conflated with health and safety legislation and excessively risk-averse decisions taken by corporate bodies in an apparent effort to avoid the threat of litigation.
