    CCDI1108/2012

    Coroner directed that a single consolidated inquest be convened for the 39 deaths, required the police to produce a full investigative report by early June 2024, and set a timetable for a second pre-inquest review within two months of receipt of that report (and in any event no later than September 2024) with disclosure obligations 21 days before the review; the inquest's purpose is limited to determining identity, how, when and where each death occurred and causes, not to adjudicate liability.
