Coordinator of the September 3 Foundation and attorney representing the families of three of the victims, David Comissiong, said yesterday the Chief Fire Officer, the Barbados Fire Service, the Chief Labour Officer and the Minister of Labour and Social Security were liable either in negligence, or as a result of breaches in statutory duties imposed upon them.
