Worth the read I thought- thanks Andy.
On risk aversion, the article states that the 2006 Compensation Culture report exonerated personal injury litigation and instead blamed risk aversion on
"complex causes, including advertising by claims management companies, selective media reporting, a lack of information about how the law works, and on occasion, a lack of common sense amongst those who implement health and safety".
I think they missed out yet another 'culture', i.e. "blame culture"?
