Can I take an opportunity to remind people: 10 April 2014: The Coroner said the following: “On 11 February 2014 I made the following statement which is on the website: “The Inquests are shortly to begin. The case will be heard by a jury. They must decide it solely on the evidence they hear in court. It is of fundamental importance that the proceedings are reported accurately and in a balanced way. Nothing, whether by way of comment or otherwise, should be published, including by way of online commentary or social networking sites, which could run the risk of prejudicing the outcome of the proceedings. The Coroner has the power to refer anything published to the Attorney General if, in his view, it may amount to a contempt of court.” I add: “This applies equally now that the Inquests have begun. I just want to underline that it applies equally to blogs as it does to any other sort of publication. I will say no more than that.”
