"In the UK, coronial law is an area that attracts great public scrutiny, reflected in the recent establishment of the office of Chief Coroner, and the number of Judges of the High Court and the Court of Appeal made deputy assistant coroners to particularly sensitive inquests. It is also an area of law that has changed significantly in recent years, since the UK's new Coroners and Justice Act came into force in 2013. This book provides practitioners with a...guide to the law of coroners and inquests. Written by barristers practicing in the field, it addresses changes to the structure and jurisprudence of coroners' courts in a straightforward, accessible manner. The book is...structured according to the elements of an inquest or the subject matter of a coroner's investigation. Each chapter provides an overview of the legal issues, statutory material, and other sources of guidance, followed by UK case summaries and extracts where the relevant issues are discussed. In addition, there are...appendices of relevant materials, including applicable legislation and the Chief Coroner's Guidance."--
