Andrew Jones inquest  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE 21/5/08: The date for the inquest to be heard has now been fixed: 9th December 2008.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No date has yet been fixed for the hearing of the inquest. This is due to a lack of resources at the offices of HM Coroner which means that there is very little staff time available to complete the task of sifting through a large amount of material delivered to the Coroner following the High Court hearing in July 2007. It is only once this task has been completed that HMC will be in a position to determine what evidence should be called at the inquest and then be in a position to fix a date for the hearing. The case is next due to be mentioned on 20th May 2008.

Mark George is instructed by Harriet Wistrich of Birnberg Pierce, London and is representing the family for no fee after the Legal Services Commission refused an application for exceptional funding.
