Well done ATLEU! When the Modern Slavery Bill was going through Parliament the Home Office resisted calls to amend the bill so as to give victims an actionable right not to be enslaved. So they are stuck with existing torts which may not easily suit their circumsatnces.

Of course, effective enforcement always requires the fear of civil action, which presents a bigger risk to trafficers and their assets than the sclerotic and timid approach of public service enforcement agents.
