Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a coronial inquest?
A coronial inquest is a court proceeding where the Coroner examines evidence to determine the identity of the deceased, as well as the date, place, manner, and cause of death. Witnesses may be called to provide testimony about the circumstances surrounding the death.
Anyone can request an inquest in writing, though the Coroner has the final say on whether one is held. Most inquests are open to the public, but in some cases, the court may be closed, or certain details may be restricted from publication.
At the conclusion of the inquest, the Coroner issues a finding—a document separate from the post-mortem report. Findings vary in length depending on the case’s complexity and are sent to the senior next of kin and other relevant parties.
-
What should I do if I’m facing a coronial inquest?
If you are involved in a coronial inquest, seeking legal advice early is important because the findings can have serious legal and personal implications. The Coroner’s conclusions may influence civil claims, workplace investigations, disciplinary actions, or even criminal proceedings. A coronial inquest lawyer can help you prepare for questioning, clarify your role in the proceedings, and prevent any misinterpretation of your involvement.
