If you or someone you know is a survivor of abuse in connection with Harrods and Mohammed Al Fayed we are here to help you take action and seek the justice that is deserved. At KP Law, we understand the emotional toll and trauma caused by this systematic failure of corporate responsibility. Our compassionate legal team is committed to supporting survivors through every step of the legal process.
On Wednesday 10th December 2025, KP Law announced it had negotiated new mechanisms with both the Estate of the late Al Fayed and Harrods. The agreement introduces crucial improvements and safeguards that were missing from the existing scheme, putting KP Law clients in control and giving survivors a meaningful choice in how they pursue the justice they deserve.
The new mechanisms agreed include individualised assessments, a fairer global settlement process, enhanced confidentiality and protection, amendments to the medical evidence process to reduce re-traumatisation risk and a route to resolution without court proceedings. The current Harrods scheme is to close on 31st March 2025, but the new mechanisms agreed extend this period, with an expectation that they will run until May 2026. Importantly, these mechanisms remain open to additional survivors should they wish to join the KP Law settlement process.
“We have been highly critical of Harrods redress scheme from its initial launch, objecting to the fact that it is self-managed by Harrods and its senior management team, many of whom were part of the same senior management team present during the years of abuse. We have long argued that this should not be the case and have called for full disclosure from Harrods on who, within its senior management team, knew what and when. The announcement by the MET last week and the emergence of fresh information contained within the Bloomberg investigation, are just further examples of why the Redress Scheme is unsuitable and why over 95% of our 276 survivor clients have rejected it.
We have also questioned why there is a 31st March cut off point for the Redress Scheme, arguing that it is putting additional pressure on survivors to make a decision on the path they should take when it is clear that not all the evidence has been uncovered and Harrods own internal investigation is still ongoing. We believe, as do all our survivor clients, that no final conclusion can or should be reached until all the evidence has been fully disclosed and made public, and everyone involved held to account. The recently agreed KP Law mechanisms, negotiated with Harrods and the estate of the late Al Fayed (‘the Estate’) provide an alternative, more trauma-informed and protective alternative that directly addresses these concerns and which have no self-imposed cut off point, allowing all the evidence to be obtained and investigated thoroughly before any final settlement is concluded.
Given the new information and recent announcements, KP Law will be calling for further urgent discussions with Harrods to continue to push for full disclosure to fully understand the true extent of the enabler network that existed within the organisation, and to ensure that all our survivor clients get the justice and compensation they deserve”.
