Request an audio recording of an inquest hearing

Declaration
I have read and understand that this recording is provided by the coroner with the following warnings:

  • This recording is not to be used for any purpose other than transcribing for possible legal proceedings or listening to.
  • Any other use of the recording or any part of it by copying, publishing, transmitting or broadcasting in any way (including on the internet) without the prior consent of the coroner, may be a contempt of court punishable with imprisonment.
  • If the recording is used to produce a transcript, the transcript must be shown to the coroner before being used for the purpose of any further proceedings.

Please note:
Where a request is made by somebody other than a formally recognised Interested Person, there is no automatic right to a copy of the recording. The Coroner will assess the reason for the request and will consider each request on a case-by-case basis.
