(This note is not part of the Order)

The Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (Coroners Areas and Assistant Coroners) Transitional Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/1625), which came into force on 25th July 2014, constituted the former coroners’ districts under the Coroners Act 1988 (c. 13) as corresponding coroner areas under the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (c. 25).

This Order combines two sets of coroner areas into two new coroner areas. The Newcastle-upon-Tyne and North Tyneside coroner areas are merged to create the new coroner area of Newcastle and North Tyneside. The West Sussex and Brighton and Hove coroner areas are merged to create the new coroner area of West Sussex, Brighton and Hove.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
