Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations correct an error in the Coroners Allowances, Fees and Expenses Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/1615) by including an express provision to indemnify coroners against awards or orders for costs made against them in the exercise of their duties under the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (c. 25).

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
