Employer’s liability claims

The request was successful.

Dear Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs,

How many employer’s liability claims did the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs settle in the most recent financial year?

What was the total in-year expenditure on employer’s liability claims inclusive of damages and other costs, such as claimants’ legal costs and medical fees.

Yours faithfully,
