    CCDI1106/2012

    The coroner ordered that the 39 deaths be investigated in a single consolidated inquest because the deaths occurred at the same time and in the same circumstances; the inquest will focus on identity, how, when, where and cause of death under s27 of the Coroners Ordinance and may make recommendations to prevent future deaths but will not determine civil or criminal liability; the police must deliver a full investigation report by early June 2024 and procedural timetables and disclosure directions were given to ensure the inquest proceeds within 2024 where practicable.
