Whittle v HM Coroner for North West Wales [2025] EWHC 236 (Admin)
30-year-old inquest quashed The deceased's brother argued that there had been insufficiency of inquiry at the original 1995 inquest (in relation to the risk posed by the deceased, whether he required MHA detention, whether he was de facto detained, whether staff acts/omissions contributed to the death, how he absconded through a window, and the steps then taken to search for him). A new investigation, which might have to be Article 2 compliant, was ordered. A procedural problem was resolved by extending time for service.
