UK passes Troubles Bill to block Adams' compensation claim and uphold detention legality.
The UK government is introducing the Troubles Bill to block compensation claims by Gerry Adams and other former Troubles-era detainees, following a 2020 Supreme Court ruling that his 1973 detention without trial was unlawful due to a procedural flaw in the interim custody order.
The previous 2023 Legacy Act, which retroactively validated such orders, was struck down in 2024 by a Belfast High Court for violating human rights law.
The new legislation aims to codify the Carltona principle—allowing junior officials to act on behalf of ministers—to ensure future detentions remain legally valid and prevent payouts, while preserving key Legacy Act provisions until the new law takes effect.
