BEIRUT - A London court has ordered a British-registered company to pay more than 800,000 pounds in damages to victims of the 2020 blast at Beirut’s port, a lawyers group in Lebanon said on Monday, in the first such verdict over the explosion.
On Jan 31, the High Court in London found Savaro liable for death, personal injury and property damage in a case brought by the Beirut Bar Association on behalf of blast victims. “It’s the first ray of hope in the long march to justice and closure for the victims,” Ms Abou Sleiman told Reuters. Ms Psyllou submitted a request in 2021 to Companies House to wind up Savaro. The Beirut Bar Association asked British authorities to halt that voluntary liquidation.
