The coroner investigating the death of Prncess Diana sought an order for the production by Channel 4 of documents and materials in its possession.
Held: Whilst the order should be made, it must be recognised that the Civil Procedure Rules were designed for use within an adversarial context, and not within the context of the inquisatorial context of an inquest, and such orders should be made with care.
