Inquiry update

29 September 2016

We are aware that recent events are unsettling, particularly for victims and survivors of child sexual abuse and all those who are engaged with the Inquiry's work. It has been said that the Inquiry is in crisis. This is simply not the case, and the Chair and Panel are united in their determination to see this important work through to a conclusion.

Statement from the Inquiry

29 September 2016

"The Inquiry has recently become very concerned about aspects of Mr Emmerson's leadership of the Counsel Team. He has therefore been suspended from duty so that these can be properly investigated.

Suggestions in the press that Mr Emmerson was considering resigning after raising disagreements over the future direction of the Inquiry are untrue. They are not a matter on which he has advised the Chair or Panel."
