Russell Jones and Walker and the families of victims involved
in the 7/7 inquest have welcomed the recent ruling made by Lady Justice
Hallett that the activities and knowledge of MI5 and the Home Office in
relation to the bombings will be included in the scope of her
investigation.
James Carlton, partner
at Russell Jones & Walker Solicitors who is representing ten of the families
involved in the inquest stated:
"All the families involved are understandably devastated by their individual loss
and want to find answers to the circumstances surrounding how their loved ones came
to die. At the same time, all involved are concerned as to whether there were, or
indeed are now, any steps that could have been taken to prevent these atrocities
from occurring at the time or again in the future.
"The decision by Lady Justice Hallett to examine the actions of intelligence
agencies in the scope of the inquest is a welcome inclusion for the victims'
families."
National law firm Russell Jones & Walker, who specialise in all types of business
crime and regulation matters

Russell Jones and Walker are acting on behalf of victims who lost their lives at all
four of the bombing sites and have been instructed by a mixture of parents, spouses
and siblings bereaved of their loved ones during the bombings.
