CORONERS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1959 - SECT 32

Power of coroner to arrange for removal of body out of his jurisdiction.

32.(1) If it appears to a coroner that an inquest ought to be held on a body
lying within his district but that it is expedient to allow or necessary to
order the body to be removed into the district of another coroner, he may with
the consent of that coroner, instead of himself summoning a jury or holding an
inquest on the body, allow or order the removal of the body to any place to
which that coroner could have allowed or ordered the body to be removed if it
had been found within his district and that coroner may deal with the body as
if it had been found within his district.

(2) The expenses of any removal ordered by a coroner under this section shall
be defrayed as part of the expenses incurred by him in the course of his
duties and not as part of the expenses of the coroner by whom the inquest is
held.
