自2022年以来,根据第9C节进行的60多次闭门调查由于缺乏透明度和家庭参与而引发了改革呼吁。 Over 60 closed-door inquests under Section 9C since 2022 have sparked calls for reform due to lack of transparency and family involvement.

怀特郡新闻社和当地议员正在敦促验尸官停止使用第9C条的审讯,因为该条允许在没有公开听证的情况下进行书面的、闭门诉讼,理由是对透明度和家庭权利的日益关切。 The Isle of Wight County Press and local MPs are urging coroners to end the use of Section 9C inquests, which allow written, closed-door proceedings without public hearings, citing growing concerns over transparency and family rights. 自2022年以来,共进行了60多次此类调查,往往没有家属知情或同意,导致平均76周的拖延。 Since 2022, over 60 such inquests have been conducted, often without families’ knowledge or consent, leading to delays averaging 76 weeks. 法律专家强调必须听取家属的意见,验尸官必须提出闭门审讯的理由,尽管不存在上诉程序。 Legal experts emphasize families must be heard and that coroners must justify closed hearings, though no appeal process exists. 批评者称这个系统已崩溃,要求加强问责制和公共监督。 Critics call the system broken, demanding greater accountability and public oversight.
