More than 900 residents, family members and survivors affected by the Grenfell Tower fire have agreed a compensation settlement. A civil case at the High Court involved companies including cladding giant Arconic.
Those who took part in the legal claim were represented by 14 firms who have stressed the agreement does not impact a public inquiry into the 2017 blaze, which has yet to publish its report, or the potential for any criminal charges to be brought in the future.
The settlement does not include all victims of the fire. The amount of compensation the 900 claimants are to receive is to be shared out “according to their own specific circumstances”, the lawyers said.
