Description

Jervis on Coroners is the authority on coroners’ law and practice. It is the most comprehensive guide on this legal system, taking you step-by-step through the procedure and practice before, during and after a coroner’s investigation or inquest.
 
Every aspect is covered, from the basic principles to more complex issues of homicide, disasters, prescribed diseases and notifiable accidents. The commentary is updated by Paul Matthews and an expert team of coroners and barristers and is complemented with appendices of useful legislation, materials and forms.
 
This new edition has been comprehensively revised with:
 
  • Expanded commentary on medical certificates of the cause of death
  • Updates to the sections on unnatural death, with reference to particular medical conditions
  • The section on data protection has been rewritten
  • Inclusion of a new section on the implications of gender identity
  • Updated commentary on the treatment of witnesses at inquests, coronial practice in homicide cases and the treatment of transport accidents
