The last 12 months have provided fertile ground for many significant judgments concerning inquest law. In Episode 136, Emma-Louise Fenelon speaks to Rachel Marcus and Jim Duffy about the developments practitioners will need to know about.
The episode mentions:
- Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service v Veevers [2020] EWHC 2550
- Maguire v HM Senior Coroner for Blackpool & Fylde [2020]
- See Shaheen Rahman QC’s three part series on Article 2 cases in healthcare contexts, including Maguire, Part 1
- Part 2
- Part 3
- See also R (Skelton) v Senior Coroner for West Sussex and the Chief Constable of Sussex Police & Robert Trigg (interested parties) [2020] EWHC 2813 (Admin), 23.10.20 and Matt Hill’s piece on Skelton

- Re Ketcher and Mitchell [2020] NICA 31
- Although we did not have time to include it in the episode, R(Grice) v [2020] EWHC 3581 (Admin), handed down on Christmas Eve, is also important reading. The case concerns the need for a resumed inquest where a criminal trial and other reviews and investigations have been carried out.
