Moir and Sweeney Litigation will be representing CRER (Coalition for Racial and Equality Rights) in the Sheku Bayoh Inquiry.
CRER has been designated as a core participant in the inquiry into the death of Mr Bayoh, who died on 3 May 2015 after an incident in the street in Kirkcaldy involving officers of Police Scotland.
The purpose of the inquiry is to examine: the immediate circumstances leading to the death of Mr Bayoh; how the police dealt with the aftermath; the subsequent investigation into the death and whether race was a factor. It is chaired by former judge Lord Bracadale.
Ian Moir told SLN: “Moir and Sweeney Litigation are delighted to be representing CRER who have been announced as a core participant in the Sheku Bayou Inquiry.
“It is right that any issues of race are fully examined and we look forward to participating fully in the inquiry.”
