* Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries

NOT YET PUBLISHED

Inquests and inquiries form a distinct area of law in which the aim of the tribunal is to discover “what happened”, rather than “who is right, wrong, or at fault”. Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries provides an accessible, go-to guide to this area of practice, useful for both practitioners and parties. It looks at the field as a whole, acknowledging the commonalities between inquests and public inquiries, and providing a practical approach to each. The book also covers the field of parliamentary inquiries.
