An amendment proposing that Trafigura-type cases - involving overseas victims suing UK-based companies - should be exempt from reforms to no win, no fee agreements was lost. Commenting on the vote, Oxfam's head of UK government relations, Kathleen Spencer Chapman said: "Poor people around the world who have suffered human rights abuses at the hands of UK companies will be innocent victims of a bill which will strip away their ability to seek readdress in UK courts. The bill is now on a collision course with justice."
