Compensation claims from 275 survivors of alleged sexual abuse by Mohamed Al Fayed, the late owner of Harrods, could total between £100 million and £150 million, according to the law firm KP Law (KPL), which represents more than half of the known survivors. These claims are estimated to be two to three times higher than the £57 million Harrods had set aside for abuse payouts in 2025, meaning that Harrods and the late billionaire’s estate could face a combined compensation bill exceeding £200 million. Harrods’ latest annual report, released in August, revealed that the store had paid out only £4.1 million from the £57 million allocated for compensation by 2025, excluding legal and administrative costs. The report also indicated that Harrods reduced the amount set aside by £1.1 million, leaving a compensation fund of £51.8 million as of January 2026. Lucy Traynor, a senior associate at KPL, criticized Harrods’ compensation scheme, which stopped accepting claims on March 31, as “not fit for purpose.” She noted that the average value of claims being pursued by KPL is likely to be hundreds of thousands of pounds higher than the average payment under Harrods’ scheme. Some claims include losses in the millions, particularly regarding future earnings and career impact. Harrods stated that it had made settlements with 113 women through its redress scheme to date. However, it did not clarify how many of these were covered by the £4.1 million paid last year, though it noted that more than 50 settlements were made by mid-February 2026. According to Traynor, this suggests an average payout of around £82,000. If more than 50 survivors are included, the average would be even lower. This is significantly less than the maximum payout of £385,000 under the scheme, which includes general damages, work impact payments, and costs for medical treatment and “wrongful” medical tests for sexually transmitted diseases. Survivors have criticized Harrods for closing its redress scheme before recent developments in the police investigation, which indicated the abuse scandal was more extensive than previously believed. This included the recognition of several women as trafficking victims, the Metropolitan Police interviewing seven suspects, and a file being sent to the Crown Prosecution Service for potential charges. Harrods reiterated that the redress scheme remains one of the available routes for compensation and that it continues to work with survivors and their legal representatives at a pace determined by them. It denied any suggestion that it was preventing access to compensation. The estate of Mohamed Al Fayed was approached for comment.
