(BBC) A group of Manchester Arena terror attack survivors will appeal against a ruling to not give them legal counsel at a public inquiry into the bombing.
In April, chairman Sir John Saunders denied the group “core participant” status at the hearing, a decision that was upheld in the High Court on Friday.
The survivors want the same rights as the police, government and families of those who died in the 2017 attack.
A preliminary hearing was told they had sought permission to appeal.
Counsel to the inquiry Paul Greaney QC told the hearing that the group’s legal representatives had “sought permission, or at any rate purported to seek permission to appeal” following Friday’s ruling.
