HM Coroners Jury

A coroner's jury is necessary in a limited number of inquest cases. The number of jurors is a minimum of seven and a maximum of eleven. The Coroners Act, 1988, sets out the categories where a coroner's jury is currently required, i.e. when a death occurs
(1) in prison;
(2) in police custody or as a result of police causing injury;
(3) which is reportable under separate legislation to a government department or officer or to the Health and Safety Executive;
(4) occurring in circumstances prejudicial to public health or safety.
