Hillsborough Law Bill

The fight for justice continues. Elkan Abrahamson of Broudie Jackson Canter drafted the Hillsborough Law Bill, along side Pete Weatherby KC of Garden Court North Chambers. Hillsborough Law, also known as The Public Authority (Accountability) Bill creates a legal duty of candour on public authorities and officials to tell the truth and proactively cooperate with official investigations and inquiries.

Elkan and Pete are also directors of the Hillsborough Law Now campaign, which is a broad coalition of families, activists, leaders, and everyday people calling for a duty of candour law.
