Inquests: Article 2 engagement and impact

3PB inquest barristers Elisabeth Bussey-Jones, Sunyana Sharma and Susan Jones will be presenting the second webinar in the 3PB introduction to inquests series.

In this webinar “Article 2 engagement and effect” Sunyana Sharma will explore the effect of the recent decision of Maguire v HM Senior Coroner for Blackpool [2020] EWCA Civ 738 and the likely effect this will have on when Article 2 is and is not likely to be engaged.

Susan Jones will consider the impact of Article 2 on the inquest procedure with a particular focus on the impact it has on the record of inquest particularly following the judgment in R (on the application of Carole Smith) v HM Assistant Coroner for North West Wales and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board [2020] EWHC 781 (Admin).

Elisabeth Bussey-Jones will follow up with practical considerations for Article 2 Inquests.
