Inquest Hearings (in court)

This web page is updated regularly, please revisit to check for updates and amendments.

Inquests in writing (not heard in court)

Where cases appear to be uncontentious, an ‘inquest in writing’ is the preferred method of conclusion to avoid any further unnecessary distress to the bereaved.

If you wish to make any representations seeking an inquest hearing in court, these need to be submitted in writing or by email [email protected] by the above response date. 

The coroner will only consider representations that are different to the evidence already reviewed and/or deemed to be in the public interest.
