Foreign compensation commission (FCC)

The FCC is a tribunal established under the Foreign Compensation Act 1950 to assess the amount of compensation British claimants are entitled to under international and British law for losses suffered abroad.

The FCC has also helped in the settlement negotiations of British property losses overseas at the hands of foreign Governments. Where compensation is secured through diplomatic or other means, the FCC then determines the entitlement of claimants to compensation.

The FCC report provides a round-up of the Commission's judicial duties and administrative functions.
