Judicial enquiry before a jury into any matter, particularly violent or sudden deaths. Liability insurers pay for the solicitor’s fee for representation at any inquest or fatal enquiry where the liability for the death may be the subject of indemnity under the policy. The insured (or his legal personal representatives) must give immediate notice once they have knowledge of an impending inquest or fatal enquiry. Proper representation of the insured is important and the insurer can also obtain copies of the coroner’s depositions.
