Coronial Hearings

Coronial inquests perform an important fact-finding function, examining the causes and circumstances of sudden, unexplained or unnatural deaths. As inquisitorial rather than adversarial proceedings, inquests often involve issues of statutory accountability, medical evidence and public safety recommendations. Members of 1JRC have a strong track record in the Coroner’s Court and are regularly instructed by families, healthcare professionals, corporate entities and public bodies.
