CORONERS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1959 - SECT 31

Verdicts.

31.(1) Where all members of the jury at an inquest are agreed they shall give,
in the form prescribed by rules under section thirty-six, their verdict
setting forth, so far as such particulars have been proved to them, who the
deceased person was and how, when and where he came to his death.

(2) Where all members of the jury at an inquest fail, within such reasonable
time as the coroner may determine, to agree upon a verdict as aforesaid, the
coroner may discharge the jury and instruct the district inspector of the
district where the body is found or in his absence a head constable acting for
him to summon another jury, and thereupon the inquest shall proceed in all
respects as if the proceedings which terminated in the disagreement had not
taken place (save that none of the former jurors shall be eligible to serve on
it).
