Sir Martin James Moore-Bick, PC (born 6 December 1946)[1] is a retired judge of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales.
[3][10][11] On 29 and 30 June it was widely reported that the tenants' solicitor in a 2014 case against Westminster City Council had said, after Moore-Bick's ruling, that it gave "the green light for social-cleansing of the poor on a mass scale".
[17] On 25 July, at the second public meeting held by the Inquiry before finalisation of its terms of reference, Moore-Bick faced further calls for his resignation, many residents saying that he did not represent them.
In response, Moore-Bick said that he was qualified to lead the investigation, because in his 20 years as a judge, he had looked into "the sort of problems that have to be considered in relation to this fire."
He promised that the Inquiry would consider the deregulation of fire safety standards, as well as the multi-million pound refurbishment to Grenfell Tower.
