Inquests

Amelia is regularly instructed in the Coroner’s Court to represent families and other interested persons in inquests involving a whole range of issues including persons in custody, police-related inquests, deaths in hospital and medical or psychiatric treatment.

She is recommended as a leading junior in this area by the Legal 500 and is described as “an excellent advocate, controlled, in command and persuasive.”

Selected Cases

  • Acting for the family of Tom Sweeting, who took his own life days after being seen by a specialist NHS psychiatry service, following a rapid deterioration in his mental health. Senior Coroner Lydia Brown issued a detailed Prevention of Future Deaths Report.
  • Acting for the family of a mother who died from complications arising from an infection following an elective incisional hernia repair. It was found that delayed transfer between two hospital sites contributed to her death.
  • Acting for the MoD police in the preliminary hearings and witness preparation in a police shooting inquest before a period of maternity leave. Emma-Louise Fenelon represented the MoD Police in the final hearing.
