Newsletter No. 3 – Live Webinar Recording & Updated FAQs

On Thursday 29th July 2021, we hosted the first in a series live client newsletter webinar sessions to provide you all with an update on where we are up to in the inquiry process, and to give you an opportunity to ask questions. Joining myself on the panel we had Pete Weatherby QC, the Barrister leading the team who you may remember from Newsletter No. 1, as well as Kate Stone of Garden Court North and Dr. Oliver Lewis of Doughty Street Chambers, both Human Rights Barristers with considerable experience.

We understand that not all of you will be able to make these sessions, which is why we have recorded the webinar so that you can still benefit from all of the information that was shared on Thursday evening. We have removed all personal information from the recording so rest assured that if you asked a question or participated in any way in this webinar, your identity will remain anonymous.

FAQ update

We have also updated our Frequently Asked Questions list to include all of the questions that were asked on the evening, including the questions that didn’t receive a live answer. Given the time restrictions of the webinar it is not possible to answer every question that comes through to us live. However, we are dedicated to ensuring that every client receives an answer to their question. By now, if you asked a question on the evening that didn’t receive a live response, you will have received an email from myself providing you with an answer.

Looking forward

We would also like to just say a huge thank you to each of you for your continued participation and engagement so far. The webinar was a success and we have been delighted by the positive feedback we’ve received regarding the format. It is clear that you have found this to be useful, so we will be making plans to host more of these webinars in the future and will update you all with the details in future newsletters.
