A woman, referred to as Kelly, was sexually assaulted on a Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Gatwick. Despite being a UK citizen and the crime being investigated and prosecuted by British authorities, Kelly was denied compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme (CICS) because the incident occurred on a foreign-registered plane. Kelly's law firm, Leigh Day, has challenged the UK government's rules, arguing that they are outdated and unfair.
