Anon @ 14.52 - re-opened inquests such as those you mention are a tiny fraction.

Your comments on the Hillsborough inquest are very odd to me. You seem to be suggesting that it was only a worthwhile process if it later results in a criminal conviction. I very much doubt that any of the families involved would say that the legal representation they had was anything other than a forward step compared to the previous inquest.

More generally, if representation for families would be such a problem, why is the state paying for legal representation for itself?
