A suicide bomber detonated explosives at the conclusion of an Ariana Grande concert held at Manchester Arena on 22 May 2017, killing 22 and injuring hundreds more. Among the casualties were dozens of children, some of whom had suffered life-changing injuries and psychological trauma.
Almost nine years afterward, a judge at the Manchester Civil Courts of Justice gave a green light to compensation claims amounting to £19,928,150 to 16 children, who were below 16 years of age when they were attacked. The judgment is one of the biggest damages to be awarded in relation to a terror attack in the UK.
