Legal framework in England
English-resident veterans claim under the law of England and Wales. Most claims must be brought within three years of the date of knowledge under the Limitation Act 1980, with the court's discretion under section 33 to allow late claims where equitable.
Civil claims against the MoD for service-related noise injury are possible for negligence committed on or after 15 May 1987 (Crown Proceedings (Armed Forces) Act 1987). Most cases proceed in the County Court or the King's Bench Division of the High Court depending on value and complexity.
