The State Coroner’s Court Lawyers

Mitchell & Co. Lawyers appear at the The State Coroner’s Court. The State Coroner’s Court in Lidcombe is the state headquarters for the coronial Jurisdiction in NSW.

The Coroner’s Court complex comprises of 4 Court rooms and a number of forensic medicine labs and typically only sits to conduct coronial inquests in relation to deaths in the Sydney metropolitan and surrounds. The State Coroner and Deputy State Coroners also travel to regional courthouses to conduct inquests when required. In addition to coronial inquests, the Court complex at Lidcombe can function as a Local Court but is typically only used as an overflow to deal with matters that require special or significant case management outside of the usual busy Court list where it may otherwise be heard.

 Persons or companies with sufficient interest in the subject matter of the coronial proceedings must seek leave to appear at the inquest and, if such leave is granted, have the right to legal representation.

Coronial proceedings are generally conducted without a jury but the Coroner has the power to direct that a particular matter be heard by a jury.

If you are required, or think you might wish to appear in coronial proceedings, Mitchell and Co. Lawyers are able to represent you in this specialist jurisdiction.
