Main Body
The compensation culture has developed a lot in Ireland. One of the most frequently complained aspects in terms of the alleged compensation culture in this country and the damages that are charged happens to be extremely high, specifically when contrasted with other countries damages that are awarded for the soft-tissue injuries in Ireland are mainly 5 times those awarded for the same injuries in the UK. In the recent times, the Court of Appeals has basically adopted a pro-individual responsibility kind of attitude which will be helping to lower the damages that is awarded, via the present examples like Luas-Surfing Settlement mainly highlighted that the public at large along with the private firms are still worried in terms of the heavy damages[footnoteRef:1]. [1: Binchy W. Tort Law in Ireland: A Half-Century Review. THE IRISH JURIST. 2016 Jan 1:199-218]
From the point of view of the legal concept it can be said that the compensation culture is basically a term that is used for implying that within a society, a lot of claims for torts for compensation remains unjustified or fraudulent also and the people who are seeking compensation needs to be criticised thoroughly. Therefore, the culture of compensation can also be looked upon as a sociological phenomenon and it need not to be mirrored in legal statistics and rules.
It has been stated by some of the scholars that the Tort Law is the main element for encouraging the compensation culture. These scholars have suggested that a lot of institutions who are cancelling the activities mainly because of the out of fear claims were doing so for simple financial reasons and using a litigation problem as a smokescreen. The authors have also highlighted that the claims that is under the tort were going down at the time when the bill was introduced. Furthermore, even it was said that so prevalent was the media hysteria that concerns the compensation culture that the government wanted to nip in the bud any suggestion that such a culture was developing[footnoteRef:2]. On the contrary, the compensation culture from the legal perspective can be also regarded as an ethos, the fundamentals of which are that the adversities in general, short demonstration of God are presumably another person's shortcoming and the experiencing should be feeling significantly better or at any rate that is set apart by the receipt of cash. There are some of the things that tend to constitute the culture of Tort. The following are some of the major factors that constitute the compensation culture Jury grants: in the US the jury settles on choices on realities, and concludes the size of the honours in private injury cases. This doesn't really occur in the UK, where judges will hear and conclude individual injury cases, furthermore, measure harms. Reformatory harms: juries in the US can make grants above and past that which is expected to repay the inquirer completely, by granting additional harms to rebuff the respondent. This is frequently the clarification for extravagant honours in the States. Lawful expenses: in the UK the terrible party is expected to pay the expenses of the fruitful party. This goes about as a hindrance against bringing misleading cases, furthermore, a motivating force to shield such cases. No such rule exists in the US[footnoteRef:3]. [2: Cane P, Atiyah PS.

Media cannot escape the eyes of law as they are the major culprit for fuelling the compensation perception culture. Moreover, there are a lot of articles that gave the impression in terms of the highest pay-outs that are available if the claimants tend to sue in the tort. These types of stories will report the result of the notorious cases they report, or even acknowledge the cases the cases from various jurisdictions are quite unlikely for succeeding in the UK because of the various legal rules. There is a report that is commissioned by the Department of Constitutional Affairs that has found out the 4/5ths of the people who are surveyed the believe that there is a culture in the United Kingdom of people making the claims of the false for the personal injuries. On the other hand, the compensation culture has featured more or less in the popular press over the last decade. There have, nonetheless, been relatively barely any scholarly investigations and such examinations as there have been have generally cantered around private injury claims[footnoteRef:4]. A pay culture, in the event that it exists, could broaden a lot more extensive than that. This article analyses the outstanding expansion in the utilization of the term 'pay culture' in the public printed media starting around 1995 with accessible measurements connecting with the Sovereign's Seat, Region Courts, and business councils. A long way from spiralling upwards, these insights show an expansive downfall across a scope of cases except for claims before the work councils, where...
