Lord Woolf
Coroners
Lord Woolf discussed the role of the coroner acting as a filter to avoid injustice: "In a difficult case, the Coroner is carrying out an evaluation exercise. He is looking at the evidence before him as a whole and saying to himself, without deciding matters which are the province of the jury, 'Is this a case where it would be safe for the jury to come to the conclusion that there had been an unlawful killing?' If he reaches the conclusion that, because the evidence is so inherently weak, vague or inconsistent with other evidence, it would not be safe for a jury to come to the verdict, then he has to withdraw the issue from the jury."
