<p>The Surrey Senior Coroner has already carried out a full investigation into the
circumstances surrounding Zane Gbangbola’s death, taking into account a considerable
amount of evidence. The Coroner, as an independent judicial office holder, drew his
own conclusions based on this evidence.</p><p> </p><p>If there is a belief that the
evidence was not considered properly during the original inquest, or that there is
new evidence available, the correct process is for an application to be made to the
Attorney General asking her to apply to the High Court to quash the inquest and order
a fresh investigation. The High Court would take this course of action if it believed
that it would be in the interests of justice.</p><p> </p><p>I believe that this remains
the proper process to follow. An assessment of the merits of an inquiry should be
made at the appropriate time if, and when, the legal processes have been exhausted.</p>
