In the latest episode of Evershed Sutherland’s “Through the Inquisitor’s Lens” series of podcasts, Paul Mertens and Shona Love join host Charlotte Belcher, Senior Associate at Eversheds Sutherland, to discuss the legal basis on which Inquiries and Inquests can request information from participants, and the challenges that can arise in managing data during these processes.
Together, they explore:
- The statutory and procedural foundations for information requests
- The scope of disclosure obligations for organisations and individuals
- Common legal and practical challenges when responding to Inquiries and Inquests
This episode offers valuable insight for those navigating public inquiries and inquests, helping participants to understand disclosure expectations while managing legal and strategic risk.
