BME lawyers file for judicial review of Grenfell probe
A COMMUNITY justice group filed an urgent application for a judicial review of the official Grenfell fire inquiry yesterday.
BME Lawyers 4 Grenfell, which is made up of black minority ethnic legal specialists, community groups and survivors, has serious concerns that full justice will not be achieved for victims and survivors of the fire, their families and local residents.
The group’s action follows repeated pleas from survivors of the London tower-block fire and families of the deceased for the inquiry’s terms of reference to be widened.
