Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes provision about coroners in consequence of the provisions of the Essex (Boroughs of Colchester, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock and District of Tendring) (Structural, Boundary and Electoral Changes) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/1875) which creates new counties of Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock on 1st April 1998.

Article 2(1) of this Order combines the county of Southend-on-Sea with part of the county of Essex to form a single coroner’s district. Article 2(2) makes the council of the county of Essex the relevant council for the purposes of the Coroners Act 1988. The relevant council is responsible for the appointment of coroners and has other functions in connection with coroners under that Act. Article 2(3) provides for the person who, on 31st March 1998, holds the office of coroner for the Essex Number 2 Coroner’s District to continue as coroner for the new coroner’s district.

Article 3 of this Order makes similar provision for the county of Thurrock.

Article 4 makes transitional arrangements to ensure continuity as respects the coroners for the new coroners' districts.
