Overview

• Harrods has provisioned £57 million for compensation and £5.3 million for legal and administrative costs, totaling £62.3 million in its accounts.
• Awards and interim payments began at the end of April 2025, and applications are being accepted until March 31, 2026, according to managing director Michael Ward.
• The redress scheme applies only to alleged sexual abuse by Mohamed Al Fayed and is open to people with a sufficiently close connection to Harrods, not only former employees, including incidents outside the UK if linked.
• Compensation categories include general damages up to £200,000, work‑impact payments up to £150,000, aggravated damages up to £25,000, fixed sums up to £10,000 for wrongful testing, and treatment costs.
• Harrods reported a £34.3 million pre‑tax loss after booking the provision, and the Metropolitan Police says 146 people have contacted officers about alleged offences by Al Fayed.
