11/12/2017

0 Comments

 
Martin Howe and David Enright appeared on the opening day of the Genfell Tower Inquiry on behalf of the more than 60 victims and Survivors of the Grenfell Tower catastrophe. 
 
Sam Stein QC addressed Rt Hon Moore Bick (chair of the Grenfell Inquity) on behalf of Howe & Co’s clients. Mr Stein informed the Inquiry that Howe & Co took an unashamedly pro victim, pro survivor, pro resident stance. Mr Stein QC set out the challenges faced by victim core participants and the steps the Inquiry must take to address those challenges and to allow survivors to participate. 
 
The Chair, Sir Martin Moore Bick, described Howe & Co’s submissions as ‘powerful’

Days four to eight of the Inquiry

7/12/2017

0 Comments

 
Day four to eight of the Inquiry continue to hear the most compelling evidence of the widespread failures to protect vulnerable individuals. Some of the most compelling and distressing evidence was heard in camera and not allowed to be streamed. David Enright and Sam Stein QC continued to represent the victims and survivors of some of the most serious child sexual abuse.
​
David Enright said of the evidence that he heard that:
​“I have spent the last 8 days at the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse public inquiry (Roman Catholic Church Module), 7 more days to go. This morning a disabled woman gave evidence of the abuse she suffered at the hands of a senior Benedictine Monk. Her evidence was beyond words. As parts of her statement were read out to the Court she involuntarily put her hands to her ears and rocked in her seat. I wept as I listened. I can only hope that this public inquiry, the latest in a long line, finally draws a line.”
David also noted that the BBC reported similar issues continuing to this day – report here

Howe + Co continue to represent a large number of Core Participants, not just in the Roman Catholic Inquiry but also in the wider Inquiry.
