Where do coroners operate?
The coroner system was developed in England and Wales, and these pages are
largely concerned with the position there. But as the British established colonies
and dependent territories elsewhere in the world, the coroner concept was exported
with the common law to other countries. Civil
law countries (eg France, Italy etc, but also Scotland)
do not have coroners. See further, on this common law/civil law divergence of
approach, Jervis, Chap 22.
