Please note the purpose of an inquest opening is to confirm who it is that has passed away and when and where they died, in open court. This will only take a few minutes and is an administrative function. Following this hearing, the inquest will be adjourned to allow for evidence to be gathered.
For openings and short inquests which have no family in attendance, the time indicated is the earliest that the hearing will occur, ie it may be heard after this time, dependant on court timings and other pressures.
Inquests in Writing will usually be completed within one week of the advertised date.
