His Majesty's Coroner

for Devon, Plymouth and Torbay

Hearings - 12 Mar 25


Please note that due to the merger of two jurisdictions on 1 April 24, there is currently a backlog of inquests in the Devon Coroner area. We are now running four courts so please bear with us and inquests will be heard as soon as possible.

You are able to attend inquests in person or remotely using a Microsoft Teams link which we will send to you. Witnesses and other interested persons can also attend in person or remotely. You can also see details of fast track inquests and inquests in writing which do not require attendance.

Should you have any questions please contact us by email at coroner@devon.gov.uk or by telephone on 01392 383636 and we will do our best to help you.
