(This note is not part of the Rules)
The Coroners (Inquest) Rules 2013 regulate the practice and procedure relating to inquests conducted as part of an investigation into a death under the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (c. 25). This instrument amends one aspect of those Rules, namely, a note in Form 2 in the Schedule. This amendment is being made to reflect the decision of the Supreme Court in R (on the application of Maughan) v Her Majesty’s Senior Coroner for Oxfordshire [2020] UKSC 46. The decision in that case confirmed that the standard of proof for the short form conclusions of “unlawful killing” and “suicide” is the civil standard of proof and not the criminal standard of proof. To reflect this, note (iii) in Form 2 (that originally set out the distinction in the standard of proof) is omitted. The civil standard is the default position and accordingly no distinction is needed, and it will apply to all short form conclusions.
2009 c. 25; subsections 45(1)(b), (c) and 2(i) were repealed by section 33(2) of the Public Bodies Act 2011 (c. 24).

Mae Memoranda Esboniadol yn nodi datganiad byr o ddiben Offeryn Statudol ac yn rhoi gwybodaeth am ei amcan polisi a goblygiadau polisi. Maent yn ceisio gwneud yr Offeryn Statudol yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol, ac maent yn cyd-fynd ag unrhyw Offeryn Statudol neu Offeryn Statudol Drafft a gyflwynwyd ger bron y Senedd o Fehefin 2004 ymlaen.
