Status

The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section. A version of a provision is prospective either:

  1. where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;
  2. where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.

Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.

(1)After section 16 of the Coroners Act (Northern Ireland) 1959 insert—

“16ADeath resulting directly from the Troubles: closure of existing inquest

(1)This section applies to an inquest into a death that resulted directly from the Troubles that was initiated before 1 May 2024 unless, on that day, the only part of the inquest that remains to be carried out is the coroner or any jury making or giving the final determination, verdict or findings, or something subsequent to that.

(2)On and after that day, a coroner must not progress the conduct of the inquest.

(3)As soon as practicable on or after that day, the coroner responsible for the inquest must close the inquest (including by discharging any jury that has been summoned).

(4)The provision in section 14(1) requiring a coroner to conduct an inquest is subject to this section.

16BDeath resulting directly from the Troubles: prohibition of new inquest

On and after the day on which section 44 of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 comes into force—

(a)a coroner must not decide to hold an inquest into any death that resulted directly from the Troubles, and

(b)the Attorney General or Advocate General for Northern Ireland must not give a direction under section 14 for the conduct of an inquest into any death that resulted directly from the Troubles.

16CInterpretation

(1)This section applies for the purposes of sections 16A and 16B and this section.

(2)A death “resulted directly from the Troubles” if—

(a)the death was wholly caused by physical injuries or physical illness, or a combination of both, that resulted directly from an act of violence or force, and

(b)the act of violence or force was conduct forming part of the Troubles.

(3)“Conduct forming part of the Troubles” has the same meaning as in the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 (see section 1 of that Act).

(4)An inquest is “initiated”—

(a)by a coroner deciding to hold the inquest, or

(b)by a direction under section 14 being given for the conduct of the inquest.”

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
