paragraph 1(2)(a) of Schedule 1 - Coroners and Justice Act 2009: The Coroner must suspend an investigation or inquest following a prosecuting authority's request on the grounds that a person may be charged with a homicide offence involving the death of the deceased (as outlined under paragraph 1(6) of Schedule 1 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009).

Guests stars include Amanda Holden, Dudley Sutton, Sue Johnston, Larry Lamb, Philip Glenister and many more. Synopsis provided by Talking Pictures TV

The Coroner is expected to open an inquest where there is reasonable suspicion that the deceased has died a violent or unnatural death, where the cause of death is unknown or if the deceased died while in custody or state detention as defined by section 1(2) of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009. An exception is made if you write to an inspector at least two days before you plan to bring your tubers over, giving a list details about said spud, its destination and the like. A Coroner will conduct an investigation (legal inquiry) when informed that the body of a person (the 'deceased') is lying within their district (geographical 'jurisdiction'). However, following the commencement of the Coroners (Investigations) Regulations 2013 the Coroner will no longer be restricted to holding inquests within their own districts and will have the option to relocate if it is in the interests of the bereaved family. We've drawn up a list of 27 laws, some bizarre, others odd and a few surprising which we all might have inadvertently broken at one time or another.Cases previously reviewed by the CPS, where no charges have been brought or where charges have been discontinued or terminated.

Typically, the police will inform the Coroner of any reporting restrictions in place as a result of criminal proceedings ongoing and any subsequent impacts thereafter. In most cases, reporting restrictions will be lifted following the finalisation of criminal proceedings, but it is for the police to ensure the Coroner is apprised of restrictions where required for a longer period. Following an inquest the Coroner can make recommendations to prevent future deaths from occurring, previously known as a 'Rule 43 Report' but now known as a 'Preventing Future Deaths Report' or 'PFD Report' (as set out in paragraphs 28 and 29 of the Coroners (Investigations) Regulations 2013. The respondent is given 56 days to reply in writing, giving details of actions that have been taken or proposed to be taken, or an explanation as to why no action will be taken to prevent future similar deaths. Copies of all responses will be sent to the Lord Chancellor, who may publish the response or a summary of it, unless the Coroner has exercised his/her power to request a restriction to the publication to the Chief Coroner (under paragraph 29(10) of the Coroners (Investigations) Regulations 2013).

Text of the Salmon Act 1986 as in force today (including any amendments) within the United Kingdom, from legislation.gov.uk. As mentioned above, criminal proceedings will usually be heard and finalised before an inquest is fully heard. Any civil proceedings (for example for damages claims) will normally follow an inquest, as all facts about the cause of death will then be known. The Coroner will often sit alone to hear an inquest, but there are certain circumstances (as defined by section 7 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009) which place a requirement upon the Coroner to summon a jury to hear an inquest case:

A large part of the Act updates Victorian-era legislation, for instance, the Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Act 1868. The decision of the Supreme Court in Maughan means that the ordinary expectation that a prosecution should follow a verdict of unlawful killing, found in cases such as R v DPP ex parte Manning [2001] QB 330 and R v (on the application of Dennis) v DPP [2006] EWHC 3211, no longer applies. This is because an unlawful killing verdict can now be reached on the balance of probabilities. However, where a decision is taken not to proceed with a prosecution following a verdict of an unlawful killing prosecutors should continue to provide a clear explanation for that decision. It is aimed at selling fish gained through illicit means - rather than those holding them, well, in a suspicious way. Section 11 of the Contempt of Court Act 1981 provides that in any case where a court allows a name or other matter to be withheld from the public in proceedings before the court, the court may give directions prohibiting the publication of that name in connection with the proceedings.The conclusion of unlawful killing is restricted to the criminal offences of murder, manslaughter (including corporate manslaughter), and infanticide. Cases where driving causes death may, therefore, only be regarded as unlawful killing for inquest purposes if they satisfy the ingredients for manslaughter (gross negligence manslaughter) or where a vehicle is used as a weapon of assault and deliberately driven at a person who dies (murder or manslaughter depending on the intent). Standard of Proof & Unlawful Killing Conclusions In cases involving the State in this way, prosecutors may be called to give evidence on the role of the CPS at inquests and should comply with the coroner's request. The most typical scenarios include where there has been a CPS decision not to charge a suspect or where the prosecutor has not contested a bail application, and the suspect has subsequently killed the deceased. Although there will be no direct involvement of the CPS in the death, there may be a need for the CPS to appear as a witness/party in an Article 2 inquest, as a result of the peripheral involvement. This section should be read in conjunction with ‘When a prosecutor receives a Coroner's summons’ to an Article 2 inquest below.

Coroners inquire into the causes and circumstance of a death under section 5 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009; inquiries are directed solely to ascertain: An Act to make fresh provision for the administration of salmon fisheries in Scotland; to provide as to the licensing and regulation of salmon dealing in Scotland and in England and Wales; to provide for, and as respects, certain offences in the law of Scotland and in the law of England and Wales in connection with salmon; to amend the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975, section 5 of the Sea Fisheries Regulation Act 1966 and section 9 of the Diseases of Fish Act 1983; to provide for the review of salmon fishing by means of nets; and for connected purposes. Prosecutors should note there is one circumstance where the coroner will have automatic jurisdiction (power to exercise their function): where a death caused by natural causes occurs in a prison or other place of 'custody'. These cases will automatically be referred to the Coroner for an inquest and will be held with a jury present. The Code for Crown Prosecutors is a public document, issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions that sets out the general principles Crown Prosecutors should follow when they make decisions on cases.It is illegal under the terms of the Prohibition and Inspections Act of 1998 to cause a nuclear explosion. Stating the obvious, you think? How many times have you been tailgated by someone who thinks the 70mph road sign denotes the minimum speed you should be travelling at not the maximum. In cases where the cause of death is not in issue, it is unlikely that a second post-mortem examination will be needed. a b Bell, Bethan (31 May 2016). "Odd laws you may unknowingly break".
