Petition Create a formal appeal process for Coroners’ inquests
We want the Government to introduce legislation creating a clear right of appeal against Coroners’ inquest conclusions, allowing families to challenge findings where there are errors of law, procedure, or failures to properly examine state involvement or evidence.
More details
At present, there is no effective way for families to challenge Coroners’ inquest conclusions, short of judicial review or with the Attorney General’s consent, even where there are serious errors, procedural failings, or failures to properly examine state involvement. We believe this leaves families without accountability or redress and risks public confidence in the inquest system, particularly in deaths involving detention, healthcare, or state care.
