Inquests and Inquiries: including Coronial Inquests, ICAC and Royal Commissions
ROYAL COMMISSIONS
If you have been called as a witness in a Royal Commission we can provide you with advice and representation, including in the preparation and presentation of statements and testimonials.
The public nature of a Royal Commission can make giving evidence in proceedings particularly difficult and stressful. The outcomes in the reports handed down after Royal Commissions are based on the evidence given, and so can weigh heavily on witnesses.
Having an experienced and dedicated lawyer to assist you in the process can not only ensure your rights are protected throughout, but also provide you with added professional support.
At present, we are available to provide advice and representation in the following:
Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety
Royal Commission into Police use of Informers
CORONIAL INQUESTS
We represent people who find themselves involved in a Coronial Inquest, including family members, or those notified by the Registry of the Coroner’s Court that they are required to be involved in an inquiry. If you have been notified that your interests may be adversely affected, or you may be subject to criticism in the proceedings, a lawyer can assist and provide you with advice about the consequences of your evidence and ensure your rights and privileges are protected in any Court proceedings.
If you have questions, or seek further advice and representation please contact Caulfield Solicitors on (02) 8815 8125 or via email at info@caulfieldsolicitors.com.au.
