Southwark Council is facing prosecution for breaching fire safety regulations following the deaths of six people in the Lakanal House fire.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) has brought a prosecution against the council under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 after the fire tore through Lakanal House in 2009, leading to the deaths of three women and three children.
The fire brigade has brought 22 charges against the council relating to fire safety matters in the tower block. The case is on going.
