[2012] EWHC 1634 (Admin)
Cathryn McGahey represented the SSJ in a successful challenge to the Coroner’s decision to leave a verdict of unlawful killing to the jury, in circumstances in which a prisoner had taken his own life. This case remains the leading case on the issue of the test that a coroner should apply when deciding which conclusions to leave to a jury.
