Consent Given For New Inquest Into The Death Of Private Cheryl James
The Attorney General, Dominic Grieve QC MP, has given his consent to the family of Private Cheryl James to apply to the High Court for a new inquest into her death.
The application was made to the Attorney General on the basis that the original inquest made insufficient enquiry into the circumstances of her death and because new evidence is now available that was not put before the inquest in December 1995.
The Attorney General granted his consent because he concluded that it was in the interests of justice for the application for a new inquest to go forward and to be heard by the High Court.
