A Coroner can request information from the LSCB as part of their inquest investigation, and it is the responsibility of the Chair of the Board to make the decision as to what should be released. The Chair will usually consult with the agencies involved, and may request to agencies to suggest redactions to any document proposed for release. Given the CPS' role with these panels, it is likely that most information we provide to the Board or Panel will be disclosed; however, prosecutors should redact information if they consider it inappropriate to be disclosed. The coroner should exercise careful judgment in respect of any request for a second post-mortem examination and should expect proper reasons to be given, pointing as appropriate to the likely issues in the prospective criminal proceedings.

The CPS will notify the coroner where his or her investigation can run in parallel with the criminal proceedings. Rule 25 (4) of The Coroners (Inquests) Rules 2013 requires a coroner to adjourn an inquest and notify the Director of Public Prosecutions, if during the course of the inquest, it appears to the coroner that the death of the deceased is likely to have been due to a homicide offence and that a person may be charged in relation to the offence.

Prosecutors should note a Coroner can continue with an inquest if notified by the CPS that adjournment is unnecessary. For example, an inquest can run in parallel with the criminal proceedings where there has been a fatal collision and charges have been brought under section 3 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 or any other offence that is not listed in paragraph 1(6) of Schedule 1 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (as above). For road traffic fatalities, this is permitted as section 20(5) of the Road Safety Act 2006 does not apply where the cause of the deceased's death cannot be proved.
