Introduction
Accredited by APIL
On 12 November 2009 Royal Assent was given to the new Coroners and Justice Act. This heralded the first major reform of the coroner system for more than 100 years. The Act will provide significant new powers for coroners to compel witnesses and produce documents, as well as widening the circumstances in which a jury is required. It will also introduce a new system of appeals.
Along with the new Act, Article 2 of the Human Rights Act has broadened the scope of the coroner’s inquiry, requiring the coroner to carry out a lengthy and detailed inquiry.
Chaired by Martin Smith of Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP, our panel of expert speakers, including the Ministry of Justice, will offer their insights and expert guidance to help you understand the implications of the recent and upcoming changes.
