Court and Inquest Findings
Court decisions often establish legal precedents. Coroner's inquests produce recommendations designed to help avoid similar fatalities in future. While these can provide valuable information to aquatic facility operators, the recommendations often do not reach all operators. The coroner often authors a detailed report, which goes much beyond the jury's recommendations, but this report is not circulated.
