It has been announced today that Sir Martin Moore-Bick, the recently retired Lord Justice of Appeal who was the Vice-President of the Court of Appeal until December 2016, has been appointed as the Chair of the Grenfell Inquiry. Sir Martin retired from the Court of Appeal in December 2016, is currently an Arbitrator working with 20 Essex Street.
Howe+Co is an experienced firm of solicitors in representing victims and survivors in Public Inquiries. We will be pressing the newly appointed Chair to ensure that victims and survivors are placed at the heart and centre of the Grenfell Inquiry.
Marin Howe (senior partner in Howe+Co) said:

“Institutions, powerful Government Departments, wealthy local authorities and big Industry cannot be allowed to dominate this vital public inquiry. This Inquiry will command public confidence if victims and survivors of this appalling tragedy are placed at its heart and their voices, and the voices of their loved ones, are heard loud and clear. This was an appalling human tragedy; the safety of individual human beings, and not the preservation of money, must be the guiding principle of Sir Martin’s work.”
