Anon @ 16.34 - I would argue the opposite, in that the circumstances here are unlikely to result in a successful civil claim. If it were likely, the lawyers could argue their time at the inquest was incidental to the costs of that claim, and recover that way. That would not cover all time, and recovery of inquest costs in a later civil claim is hit and miss, but probably a better bet than legal aid.

Likewise, I doubt that a civil claim would be at the forefront in the minds of those representing Facebook/Instagram at the inquest. It will be an exercise in wider PR management.

I guess I would ask that if this case does not have wider public significance, which case would?
