Procedural irregularities in inquest concerning care home death

Rushbrooke v HM Coroner for West London [2020] EWHC 1612 (Admin)

The Administrative Court has quashed a decision made at an inquest into the death of a woman suffering from dementia. There had been several procedural irregularities in respect of the inquest and a number of investigations conducted by the coroner had been insufficient. The court concluded that it was necessary and desirable in the interests of justice for a fresh inquest and investigation to be held.
