Orders and Rulings
A coroner may make an order or ruling regarding an investigation, or during an inquest.
Orders and rulings are not written findings. They can include, but are not limited to:
- a non-publication order restricting the release or publication of some information
- a ruling to re-open an investigation
- a ruling on whether the coroner has jurisdiction to investigate.
