The last year has seen the largest and most comprehensive reform of Coronial Law since the early nineteenth century. The new Coroners & Justice Act impacts upon every aspect of the Inquest and this comprehensive new work lays out both the substantive law and new procedure following the 2010 legislation.
The whole coronial process is laid out in distinct chapters, beginning with pre-Inquest hearings and concluding with the use of verdicts in subsequent civil and criminal litigation, providing the reader with practical guidance from beginning to end of the process and creating an invaluable reference for both the practitioner and student of this fast developing area of law.
