Coronors and Inquests

Members of Liberty Chambers provide representation and advice under the Coroners Ordinance (Cap 504) for inquests into unexplained, sudden, or violent deaths, establishing cause and context, with or without a jury.

They advise on proceedings for families, medical practitioners, hospitals, and pharmaceutical manufacturers; represent in contentious issues; examine and cross-examine witnesses; and navigate criminal offence referrals (e.g., murder, manslaughter) to the Secretary for Justice, addressing impacts on subsequent proceedings.
