Today's Highlighted Video Story: Hastings (Appellant) v Finsbury Orthopaedics Ltd and another (Respondents) (Scotland [2022] – UKSC 19
Focus of the Day Article: In R (Gorani) v HM Assistant Coroner for Inner West London [2022] EWHC1593 (QB),
a Divisional Court comprising Macur LJ and Garnham J rejected on all
grounds a wide-ranging challenge to the conduct of in inquest into a
suicide. Of particular interest were the Court’s observations on the
effect of a finding that the investigative duty under article 2, ECHR
was engaged, and their clarification that a coroner does not need to
hear submissions before refusing to make a ‘preventing future deaths’
report. That said, it is a broad and interesting judgment and deserves
reading in full by those with an interest in coronial law. Full story - UK Human Rights Blog
