What Version
Status:
This is the original version (as it was originally made). Northern Ireland Statutory Rules are not carried in their revised form on this site.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules amend the Coroners (Practice and Procedure) Rules (Northern Ireland) 1963 so as to—
substitute a new rule 19 to remove the need for a note of the evidence given by a witness at an inquest to be signed by the witness as well as the coroner;
substitute a new paragraph (2) in rule 38 to give a coroner sole discretion to decide whether to furnish to a properly interested person a copy of any document put in evidence at an inquest; and
substitute a new Form 5, which provides for the form of oath to be taken by a juror in a coroners’ court and removes the reference to our Sovereign Lady the Queen.
