# The Coroners (Practice and Procedure) (Amendment) Rules (Northern Ireland) 2008, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules amend the Coroners (Practice and Procedure) Rules (Northern Ireland) 1963 so as to—
substitute a new rule 19 to remove the need for a note of the evidence given by a witness at an inquest to be signed by the witness as well as the coroner;
substitute a new paragraph (2) in rule 38 to give a coroner sole discretion to decide whether to furnish to a properly interested person a copy of any document put in evidence at an inquest; and
substitute a new Form 5, which provides for the form of oath to be taken by a juror in a coroners’ court and removes the reference to our Sovereign Lady the Queen.
