Hearing transcripts

The Assistant Deputy Coroner has decided that the transcripts of all proceedings in open court will be published on this website.

We will aim to publish transcripts of evidence given to the Inquests twice daily, however, it should be noted that this evidence will remain ‘uncorrected’ at the time of publication, and may be updated subsequently.

The transcripts for each session are set out below, and each transcript contains links to documentary evidence seen by the jury in the course of the proceedings.

Material reproduced from this website should be credited to: www.scottbaker-inquests.gov.uk. Further guidance on the reproduction of content.
