Lawyers for the claimants said the settlement will have no impact on the public inquiry report or the potential for any future criminal charges. It was also acknowledged that no amount of money could compensate for the ordeals endured by so many.
A group of more than 900 survivors, bereaved family members and residents have agreed a settlement of their civil claims arising from the Grenfell Tower fire.in North Kensington, west London, in June 2017 killed 72 people.
The settlement does not include all victims of the fire, while the compensation the 900 claimants will receive is to be shared out"according to their own specific circumstances". It said it had also"agreed to contribute to a restorative justice project to benefit the community affected by the fire".The Kensington & Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation, appointed by the local council to run its entire housing stock, said"a monetary settlement won't mitigate for the loss and trauma".
A public inquiry, chaired by Sir Martin Moore-Bick, has been looking into the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the blaze.
