The recent case of A v Hoare in the House of Lords concerning a claim made against a lottery winner who had attempted to rape the claimant many years before, attracted widespread media attention. On appeal to the House of Lords with five other cases concerning claims of sexual abuse, the main issue to be decided was the relevant limitation period to be applied. In this podcast, Stuart Brown QC and Rosalind Coe discuss the decision reached by the House and comment on the other issues raised in the appeal.
