Coroner's inquests

Inquests are usually held on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 10am and 4:30pm (but this can change - inquests are confirmed below).

Inquest Courts

The Court gets in contact with all parties prior to an inquest and makes sure that copies of any relevant documents are provided in good time. Inquests may get delayed if waiting for evidence from key witnesses or if there are ongoing investigations by other agencies.

Attendance is in person - but the coroner can consider written requests to attend by video link.

There aren't any restrictions on the number of people attending, but please contact the team if a large number of family, friends or others are going to attend.

There are no refreshment facilities available so we recommend bringing bottled water with you. You can't eat or drink inside the Court room.

If you have any questions in relation to Inquest court hearings, please call 01604 526100 or email [email protected]. New referrals will be dealt with as soon as possible - please allow 1 to 2 working days to be contacted.

Telephone: 01604 526100
