Film Screening: Court, with talk by expert on India's anti-terror laws
Award-winning satire examines India's sedition law 

On 23rd October, to mark the 70th anniversary of the Partition of India, we take a look at the legacy of colonialism with this Winner of Best Feature Film at the National Film Awards.

Court is a funny and understated depiction of the trial of an ageing folk singer, facing the absurd accusation of having performed an inflammatory song that may have incited the suicide of a sewage worker.

Expert on India's anti-terror laws Dr Mayur Suresh will introduce the screening with a talk on the controversial sedition law at the centre of the film, a law that was introduced by the British during the independence struggle and revived under today's Hindu nationalist government.

Policy Brief: Rapid Resolution and Redress for Birth Injuries
Proposals map out new scheme to help families of babies injured at birth

Our latest policy brief proposes a new approach to support the families of infants injured at birth.

A recent government consultation was launched to improve the way that families of babies seriously injured at birth are compensated.

This policy brief presents an alternative to the current litigation-based approach that provides more rapid support for families, extends the cover to include early neonatal deaths, and delivers improvements in clinical practice.
