B006u13w the Flight (Jenny Cooper 4) Nodrm
“The first warning shots had come in off-the-record phone calls from Simon Moreton, a Director in the Ministry of Justice, and her superior insofar as a coroner could be said to have one.
Despite all that she had got away with in the past, he warned her, she wouldn’t be repeating the experience. A wise coroner, he suggested, would recognize that this was one of the rare occasions that required all public officials to pull in the same direction. It was civil service code for ‘back off now or expe...ct consequences’. When she reminded him that the law required a coroner fearlessly and independently to inquire after the truth, she was met with silence.
When Moreton’s pleading failed, his superior, the politely imperious Sir Oliver Prentice, requested her to postpone ‘to allow the media to calm down’. She responded with a request of her own: where in the Coroner’s Rules did it require her to time her inquiry according to the level of press hysteria? Then there were no more phone calls, merely a two-line email informing her that counsel had been instructed to keep a watching brief at her inquest on behalf of Sir James Kendall’s inquiry.MoreLess
