Paragraph 11 I1
Where an investigation is resumed under this Schedule, the senior coroner must resume any inquest that was adjourned under paragraph 6.
F1Sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) apply, in place of section 7, to an inquest that is resumed under this paragraph.
The resumed inquest may be held with a jury if the senior coroner thinks that there is sufficient reason for it to be held with one.
Where the adjourned inquest was held with a jury and the senior coroner decides to hold the resumed inquest with a jury—
if at least seven persons who were members of the original jury are available to serve at the resumed inquest, the resumed inquest must be held with a jury consisting of those persons;
if not, or if the original jury was discharged under paragraph 6(2), a new jury must be summoned.
Where an inquest is resumed under this paragraph without a jury (whether or not it had one before the adjournment), the senior coroner must consider, in accordance with section 9C, whether the resumed inquest is to be held at a hearing or in writing.
