Families of those lost in the CTV building collapse are calling for the government to review the police decision not to prosecute anyone in relation to the disaster. At the Rydges Latimer Hotel today, spokesman for the CTV Families Group Professor Alkaisi will outline the steps taken by the families since the decision by the police not to prosecute was announced, and the action now proposed. He said it has been three years since the police decision on November 30, 2017, not to prosecute over the CTV building collapse was announced. In response to this decision, Justice Minister Andrew Little said: “Those involved have walked away scot-free and that's not right". He said families were calling for the Prime Minister to independently review the decision-making process the police went through prior to deciding not to press charges.
