This judgment considers the role of the Court of Protection in connection with applications to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (‘CICA’). In particular, it looks at cases in which the CICA requires a trust to be created in order to exclude any possibility that the assailant may benefit from the compensation award. These cases arise almost exclusively in the context of domestic violence, where the assailant is a family member.
