Your tests broke - but in brief.
Until 2016 you had the Riot (Damages) Act 1886. A requirement under this was the local Police area payed compensation for any loss or damages due to riot. It was partly based on the requirement of the police to maintain law and order.
Due to the high costs of the 2011 riots
you had a Independent review of the Act by Neil Kinghan (Sep 2013). - One consequence of the riots was to put the spotlight on the Riot (Damages) Act which requires the police to pay compensation to those whose property is damaged in a riot
In the consultation - some responses also expressed some concerns about Police and Crime Commissioners' taking decisions on the declaration of riot at all, citing potential for conflict of interests.
The Act was replaced by the Riot Compensation Act 2016.
Section (8) of this - The appropriate local policing body must pay to the claimant the amount of compensation decided under this section.
Under UK law, victims of criminal damage to property and possessions during a riot are entitled to claim for losses.
