Remote attendance for members of the press or public
On 28 June 2022, section 85A of the Courts Act 2003, and the Remote Observation and Recording (Courts and Tribunals) Regulations 2022 came into effect, making it lawful to allow remote observation of inquests under specific circumstances. With prior approval, remote access is permissible via telephone or video link.
All remote access to Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Coroner's Court must be approved in advance by the Coroner.
To request remote attendance at court please email coroners@cambridgeshire.gov.uk by 2pm on the working day before the hearing, stating the hearing you would like to attend, your reasons for wishing to attend remotely and whether you would like to attend by telephone or video. Applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis and may be refused.
It is illegal to record any judicial proceedings heard in open court without permission of the Coroner, and to do so is a contempt of court under the Contempt of Court Act 1981.
Coroners are required by law to investigate any sudden or unexplained death. They are independent of both local and central government and are required to act in accordance with laid down rules and procedures.
In most cases, no further action is required, and the death can be registered as normal. However, the Coroner may decide to hold an inquest to establish the facts.
The Guide to Coroner Services is primarily for bereaved people but others involved in or affected by a Coroner investigation or attending a Coroner's inquest may also find it helpful.
