The Public Inquiry into the tragic Nottingham attacks resumed this week for Closing Submissions following the conclusion of oral evidence in June
The Inquiry has examined the circumstances surrounding the events of 13th June 2023 in Nottingham City Centre, in which three people were killed and three others seriously injured.
Actions of public bodies have been scrutinised, the adequacy of systems in place, and the opportunities – missed or otherwise – to prevent such a devastating outcome.
At the start of hearings this week, Counsel to the Inquiry addressed the Inquiry Chair, Her Honour Deborah Taylor KC, stating that the evidence has revealed one failure after another and the Deceased Victims should be alive and the Surviving Victims uninjured.
Leila Benyounes and Georgia Banks led by Sophie Cartwright KC represented the Surviving Victims, who suffered life-changing injuries. They were instructed by Greg Almond, Partner at Rothera Bray LLP.
As the Inquiry concludes and the report of the Chair is awaited in spring 2027, our thoughts remain with all the victims, their families, and all those whose lives were irrevocably changed. Their courage in seeking answers continues to drive this process forward.
