The following are the recommendations under Rule 43 * put to the Coroner by the family’s legal representatives following the jury verdict on 18th December 2009.
These recommendations are compiled not only in relation to Mikey’s case but to other similar cases both in the West Midlands region and nationally.
* About Rule 43
Under Rule 43 of the Coroners Rules (as amended with effect from 17 July 2008) Where:
- a coroner is holding an inquest into a person’s death;
- the evidence gives rise to a concern that circumstances creating a risk of other deaths will occur, or will continue to exist, in the future; and
- in the coroner’s opinion, action should be taken to prevent the occurrence or continuation of such circumstances, or to eliminate or reduce the risk of death created by such circumstances,
The coroner may report the circumstances to a person who the coroner believes may have power to take such action”.
