The Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (Coroner Areas and Assistant Coroners) Transitional Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/1625), which came into force on 25th July 2013, established that the former “coroners’ districts” - as constituted under the Coroners Act 1988 (c. 13) - were to be specified as corresponding coroner areas under the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (c. 25).

This Order creates a new coroner area of Kent and Medway by combining the four coroner areas of Central and South East Kent, Mid Kent and Medway, North East Kent and North West Kent.

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.
