Schedules Schedule 10: Civil actions to which the 2008 Mediation Directive applies Part 1 - England and Wales: Investigations and Inquests Coroners and Justice Act 2009
Paragraph 1(1) inserts new section 11A and new schedule 1A into the Coroner and Justice Act 2009. Paragraph 1(1) of new Schedule 1A provides for existing inquests and coronial investigations into troubles related deaths in England and Wales to end on 1 May 2024 unless the only part of the investigation that remains to be carried out is the coroner or any jury making the determination and any findings required by section 10 of the 2009 Act, or some step subsequent to that.
	New Schedule 1A paragraph 2(1) to 2(4) relates to new investigations and inquests into Troubles-related deaths. On and after the day which paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 10 to this Act comes into force (on the 1 May 2024) the duty under section 1(1) of the 2009 Act is not to begin to apply to a senior coroner in respect of a Troubles-related death. Schedule 1A Paragraph 3(3) prevents a senior coroner from making a request to another senior coroner to conduct an investigation; no senior coroner should agree to such a request. Schedule 1A paragraph 3(4) prevents the Chief Coroner from giving a direction to a senior coroner to conduct an investigation into a Troubles-related death.
	New Schedule 1A paragraph 4 defines a death that "resulted directly from the Troubles", "conduct forming part of the Troubles",", "inquest", and "investigation".
