#TimeForTheTruth: The Wakefield Express called on Prime Minister David Cameron to overturn the decision not to grant legal aid funding to the families of Robert and Christianne Shepherd to allow them to be legally represented at the inquest into their children’s deaths in Corfu in 2006. It has now been overturned An inquest into the children’s death is due to be heard next year, it will be the first time the full facts of the tragedy, which happened at the Louis Corcyra Beach Hotel in October 2006, have been heard in a British Court. Without legal aid Bobby and Christi’s family would not have had the same legal representation as tour operator Thomas Cook - the firm the fatal half term holiday was booked through - now they do. And thousands of you, our readers, signed our petition calling for the justice minister to rethink the decision - and they listened. Thank you.
