CORONERS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1959 - SECT 14

Inquest on order of Attorney General.

14. Where the Attorney General has reason to believe that a deceased person
has died in circumstances which in his opinion make the holding of an inquest
advisable he may direct any coroner (whether or not he is the coroner for the
district in which the death has occurred) to conduct an inquest into the death
of that person, and that coroner shall proceed to conduct an inquest in
accordance with the provisions of this Act (and as if, not being the coroner
for the district in which the death occurred, he were such coroner) whether or
not he or any other coroner has viewed the body, made any inquiry or
investigation, held any inquest into or done any other act in connection with
the death.
