Inquests: A Legal Update 2022: An Online Conference

The role of Inquests has never been so vital as it is at present. The Supreme Court case of Maughan, allowing findings of unlawful killing to be on the balance of probabilities and the recent Divisional Court case of West Sussex, which sets out new guidelines for post statutory investigation inquests are just two recent examples. This very timely half day online conference covers a wide range of very topical issues and will be delivered by 5 speakers, all of whom are experts in the law and practice of Inquests. Each will present a 25 minute session on their specific topic, as set out below.

This online conference will be streamed live, direct to your desktop, tablet or smart phone so you can watch it from your office or home. You can participate in the conference live or watch the recorded version whenever you want. In each case you will receive a free recording of the complete conference after the event.

The price for this is £195. This is a per organisation price, so up to 19 of your colleagues can participate at no extra charge, even if they are viewing it from a different location. So, of course, if there are 10 of you, for example, the cost per delegate would be just £19.50.

For firms with 4 or less partners the price is £99 for a single ticket

This is streets ahead of an ordinary webinar or online course experience with one speaker, which often gets very tedious in a very short time. We have 5 speakers. With this online conference, you will be able to participate with your colleagues as you want - either live, or in segments (perhaps viewing it a session at a time over several days/weeks) or on an on-demand, recorded basis. You will be able to take part by video or audio to watch or hear our panel of expert speakers cover the current hot topics, and answer or ask questions, from the comfort of your office or home.

The topics to be covered are:

-Opening Address: Some topical issues including acting for families at inquests

-The Inquest and what comes after. The proper limits of inquiry at the inquest when other proceedings are contemplated

-An overview and perspective of representing the tram driver at the Croydon inquest...and Gross Negligence Manslaughter

-Article 2 case law update relevant to inquest practice

-The Manchester public inquiry and how this compared to the Westminster and London Bridge inquests

Our Speakers:

Gerard Forlin QC, Cornerstone Barristers (Chairman)

David Travers QC Gough Square Chambers

Jesse Nicholls Matrix

Miles Bennett 5 Paper Buildings

Helen Boniface Hogan Lovells

Important Notes about Booking

1. If you are booking more than say 14 delegates, it is probably better to make two bookings of half the number of delegates each, starting with the paying delegate and then adding half the free delegates to that booking and then creating a new booking for the rest of the free delegates. The reason for this is that the booking platform time-out kicks in perhaps too quickly and you can lose all the information you inputted. Alternatively you can book your first delegate and send the names, job titles and email addresses of the additional delegates to us at info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk

2. Payment can be made by credit or debit card or alternatively by invoice. The option to pay by invoice is below the pay by card option in the booking form

3. If you have more than 20 delegates then extra delegates are £20 each. Contact us at info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk to arrange this

4. If you don't have the complete list of who will be attending you can book for those that you know will be attending and add the others at a later date

5. If you would like to submit questions in advance to the speakers please send them to info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk
