The claimant sought an order quashing the inquest into the death of her son, but the inquest had not yet been formally concluded. It had been opened but suspended pending the completion of criminal proceedings, and a later decision had been made to to resume the investigation.
Held: The application must fail. It remained open to the claimant to invite the coroner to resume his inquest.
