Can I attend an inquest?

Most certainly. All inquests are open to the public. The programme of inquests to be held at The Old Court House Hatfield is advertised there at least ten working days in advance. This includes the names of the deceased and the date and the likely time that the inquest will be held and whether or not a jury is involved.

This information is also available both to the general public and to members of the media from the Corporate Communications Unit of Hertfordshire County Council on 01992 555536
