Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes the provision about coroners in consequence of the creation of the Counties of Bournemouth and Poole by article 8 of the Dorset (Boroughs of Poole and Bournemouth) (Structural Change) Order 1995 on 1st April 1997.
Article 2(1) of this Order combines those new counties with part of the County of Dorset to form a single coroner’s district. Article 2(2) makes the Bournemouth Borough Council the relevant council within the meaning of section 1 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 1997, holds the office of coroner for the Eastern Dorset Coroner’s District to continue as coroner for the new coroner’s district.
Article 3 makes transitional arrangements to ensure continuity as respects the coroner for the new coroner’s district.
