List Of Issues

The Eljamel Inquiry has published its List Of Issues. This is a more detailed outline of what the Inquiry will be looking at during the course of its investigations. 

The List Of Issues as set out in the document below is not final. Core Participants will be invited to contribute. Over time, the List Of Issues can be updated and amended. 

Background to the List of Issues 

1. As per paragraph (f) of the Explanatory Notes to the Terms of Reference, the Terms of Reference of the Eljamel Inquiry do not attempt to present a definitive list of every issue that or every person whose evidence the Inquiry will consider. Instead, they specify matters which the Inquiry is empowered to investigate. The Inquiry will interpret its Terms of Reference flexibly, in the public interest and (where appropriate) in consultation with core participants. 

2. In order to provide a more detailed explanation of the issues which the Inquiry will seek to examine and determine, the Inquiry has decided to create this List of Issues, in accordance with its principles of clarity and openness, to guide its investigative work. 

3. The Inquiry recognises that there may be a degree of overlap between the sections of this List of Issues set out below. This is the result of an attempt on the part of the Inquiry to reflect the full breadth of the various parts its Terms of Reference, the fact that there is a degree of natural overlap between those parts and the desire of the Inquiry to list all relevant issues and not allow any to fall between the different parts of the Terms of Reference. 

4. It is likely that the List of Issues will change over time, as the Inquiry uncovers and analyses more information and understands its remit more fully. Thus, issues may be added, deleted or reformulated as the investigative work of the Inquiry progresses. Nothing should be taken to indicate that the Inquiry or the Chair has taken any views on the issues or questions listed. The Inquiry will follow the evidence to resolve these issues.
