More than 900 people affected by the Grenfell Tower fire have settled a civil claim against building firms - but say the fight for justice continues
In a statement, the legal firms said: “The settlement is completely independent of, and has no impact upon, the ongoing public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire, which is due to publish its report in 2023, or the ongoing criminal investigation where it is anticipated that the Crown Prosecution Service will make a decision on whether to pursue criminal charges against those responsible for the fire after publication of the final Grenfell Tower Inquiry report.
“Finally, it should be recognised that no amount of damages could ever be sufficient to properly compensate those affected by the fire.” A full inquiry into the fire, led by Sir Martin Moore-Bick, to establish exactly what led to the deadly blaze is due to report this year. Mr Gove said: "There was a system of regulation that was faulty. The government did not think hard enough, or police effectively enough, the whole system of building safety. Undoubtedly."
