About this episode
How do we investigate violent and unexpected deaths at the inquest? Who investigates?
When do deaths get referred to the Coroner? Are inquests non-adversarial and inquisitorial? When do you have a jury? What are findings, determinations and conclusions (aka verdicts)? Can you appeal? Is the process transparent to the public and user friendly? Fit for purpose or in need of reform?
A lecture by Leslie Thomas QC 3 December
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:
