Upcoming coroner hearings

Coronavirus: Virtual attendance at Coroner's Court hearings

By reason of the difficulties imposed by the need for social distancing, public attendance at the Coroner's Court has been put on hold until later in the year. However, the Coroners and their staff have been working hard so that, where possible, public hearings have continued with interested persons, the public and the press being able to attend remotely. This has ensured that, for many, the Inquest process has continued and will continue to support bereaved families and all those involved. Anyone wishing to attend a hearing should contact the Court on 01483 404510 or 01483 404944, so that appropriate arrangements can be made.

Please note: the normal prohibition against recording hearings still applies, including recording virtual court proceedings on your computer or any other device, and any breach may amount to a contempt of court, which would be punishable by a fine, imprisonment or both.
