Costs
What costs are involved in an inquest, and who is responsible for paying them?
The inquest itself is paid using public funds. Family members do not have to pay court fees.
If family members choose to hire their own lawyers, they will have to pay the relevant legal fees themselves.
In addition, if family members want to obtain copies of the autopsy reports, witness statements, transcripts, or any other documents from the inquest, they have to pay a fee.
