# The Coroners (Compensation) Regulations 1975, Regulation 11: Conditions for payment of long-term compensation


(1) Without prejudice to any other requirement of these Regulations, the conditions for the payment of long-term compensation to any person are that—
(a) he has suffered loss of employment or loss or diminution of emoluments attributable to any provision of the Act or any instrument made under the Act not later than 10 years after the material date;
(b) he had not at the date of the loss or diminution attained the age of 65;
(c) he had, for a period of not less than 5 years immediately before the material date, held continuously (without a break of more than 12 months at any one time) the office of coroner;
(d) he has made a claim for such compensation in accordance with the provisions of Part VII of these Regulations not later than 2 years after the loss or diminution which is the cause of the claim or 2 years after the coming into operation of these Regulations whichever is the later; and
(e) if the cause of the claim for compensation is loss of employment—
(i) the loss has occurred for some reason other than misconduct or incapacity to perform the duties that, immediately before the loss, he was performing or might reasonably have been required to perform; and
(ii) he has not, subject to paragraph (2), after the local authority either informs him in writing that his services are or are likely to be terminated or gives him written notice of termination of services, been offered in writing any reasonably comparable employment being employment in the office of coroner or in assisting the holder of such an office in the performance of the duties of that office or under the Crown or in the service of a local authority, or such other employment as the Secretary of State may, in the case of any named person, approve.
(2) Regulation 7(2) and (3) (which relate to offers of employment) shall apply for the purposes of this Regulation in ascertaining whether a person has been offered reasonably comparable employment.
(3) Claims for long-term compensation for loss of employment shall in all respects be treated as claims for such compensation for the loss of emoluments occasioned thereby and the provisions of these Regulations shall apply to all such claims accordingly.
