36. Manner of recording evidence

The evidence given in any inquiry is to be recorded by the Coroner in writing or in any other suitable form of recording whereby the evidence can be reduced to a readable form.

Evidence recorded in writing or, if it is not recorded in writing, the transcript of the evidence recorded, must be in English and signed by the Coroner, and forms part of the record of the inquiry.

Evidence may be recorded in the form of question and answer or in the form of a narrative, as the Coroner thinks fit.
