Would i be compensated
Hi All,
A bit confused at the moment.
I have been a victim of hate crime over the last 2 months, police have arrested the person who is my next door neighbour.
My neighbour posted my address on the EDL and combat18 website preaching racial and religious hate, i then had to flee my house as i couldnt live there anymore and stayed in a hotel for 6-7 weeks. He has pleaded guilty to sending me hate mail and posting my addess on the websites.
The question i have is will i get that money back that as compestion?

^^^^ - agree entirely with ummmm
I hate the "compensation culture" which goes after "money for nothing" - but this is very different - there has been a real and quantifiable loss.
If the neighbour is convicted then they should pay compensation, not for 'hurt or distress' but for the costs they have caused you to incur.

he's pleaded guilty - has he been sentenced yet? it may be that the court will order him to pay you compensation in any event. You may be able to claim from Criminal Injuries, although I believe this is limited to claims for personal injury plus incidental costs, and if there's no injury I don't think you can claim.
I'm sorry to hear this has happened, and hope that you do find compensation. I'm surprised that others have accused you of being part of the compensation culture - you have clearly been a victim and have suffered financial loss as a direct result of that. Good luck to you.
