It has been a most interesting conversation. I have a couple of points to make. The issue of inquests and the verdict, which often is not one the family expects or is satisfied with, was mentioned. One of the questions put to those coming in here was whether there was an alternative or better way to appeal such verdicts. What mechanism should be put in place to allow for appeals where people are dissatisfied with the outcome? What are the witnesses' views on the admissibility in later court actions of the findings of a coroner's report?
