The role of a Coroner

There are many different types of courts and one less discussed, is the Coroners’ Court.  We are joined by Nadia Persaud, a Coroner for East London to unpack this interesting area.  This area discusses the role of a Coroner, the powers of the Coroners’ Court and how this type of inquisitorial judicial role is unique in the English legal system.  We always encourage listeners to undertake practical actions after listening to the episode.  -       Coroners’ Courts are open courts – go along to your local Coroners’ Court and listen to the proceedings. -       Read “A Guide to Coroner Services for Bereaved People” https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guide-to-coroner-services-and-coroner-investigations-a-short-guide   Useful resources -       The Coroners’ Court: https://www.judiciary.uk/courts-and-tribunals/coroners-courts/
