Info for members of the public wanting to attending the inquest
A very small number of seats are available in the main court - but we highly recommend trying to get spaces here as opposed to the annexe. Comments we received from people who were in the annexe confirmed our fears that it isn't an effective space for the public to meaningfully be able to follow what is going on in court.
However, the court is only giving out passes for the main court in the morning from 9am at the Hobbs gate. Even if people with a pass for the main court leave - their spaces are not allocated to anyone else which meant yesterday afternoon, members of the public were stuck in the annexe when their was plenty of room in the main court room. In due course, the family campaign will be making representations about this to the officials dealing with the court admin.
So - what we recommend is coming down early and trying to get one of those passes on key evidence days.
