John Purdey asked if campaigners would accept the verdict of a high court judge, if that verdict were, that negligence WAS proven.

I fail to see where else the campaign could go AFTER such a verdict!

It must draw the whole issue to a close.

All I would say is this: Any inquiry MUST comment on whether the negligence verdict can be upheld using the original standard of "Absolutely no doubt whatsoever"

That phrase is the key to this burning injustice.

Since Sheriff Sir Steven Young (the equivalent of a high court judge?) at the Fatal Accident Inquiry, was unable to make such a finding, EVEN ON A BALANCE OF PROBABILITY!

I don't think campaigners would have anything to fear from such an inquiry.

I suggest that is PRECISELY why we haven't had one!

What was your point JP?
