Adeje Ayuntamiento says that the council's main initial priorities are checking up on the injured and opening an expert investigation. The council confirmed that Juan Diego Mayordomo, an expert in building problems, has called together a municipal team to study the buildings involved in las Sunday morning's floor collapse in the Butterfly nightclub in the Playa Beach commercial centre.

The council has also been in close contact with the consuls and embassies of the foreign nationals affected by the incident, nine of whom remain in hospital recovering from different injuries, mostly fractures. Three of these are in the Candelaria Hospital, one in the University Hospital, three in Hospiten Sur, and two in the Clínica Quirón in San Eugenio. None are considered to be in critical condition. Help has been offered to all those affected, with Adeje mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga stressing that the most important thing for him "is the health of the injured and the safety of the building and those alongside".

Mayor Fraga has remained in contact with the councillors responsible for the areas affected since Sunday. He visited the site yesterday to assess the structural damage with building expert Juan Diego Mayordomo, of Teneguía Consultores, together with a technical team. They report that the situation is not a simple one, and say that although they are aware that many people could be anxious about returning to work in the affected area, the safety of everyone has to come first. The mayor has personally visited affected shops and spoken first hand with workers affected by the current closures, explaining that whilst it is important that the commercial zone suffers the least possible financial damage, the council would not be pressured into making decisions. "We have to work prudently", he said, "and take the right decisions in line with the advice given by the experts."

Realistically, if one of the injured were to sue over the incident, when might they expect to actually receive any money?  How many decades?

Well, they were in a disco so one might assume time is on their side....Having said that, I'd wager they'll be retired by the time of any payout...

Well one of the Brits injured was reported as a 59 year old so not all youngsters

If those digits had been the other way round I'd have been concerned for @Delderek's welfare.....
