(This note is not part of the Order)

The Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (Coroner Areas and Assistant Coroners) Transitional Order 2013, which came into force on 25th July 2013, constituted the former coroners’ districts under the Coroners Act 1988 as corresponding coroner areas under the Coroners and Justice Act 2009.

The Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (Alteration of Coroner Areas) Order 2013 combined nineteen of those coroner areas into nine areas.

This Order combines the coroner area of North and West Cumbria and the coroner area of South and East Cumbria into the new coroner area of Cumbria.
