The Minister of Justice may order that a Provincial Court judge conduct a public fatality inquiry. The inquiry will determine the identity of the deceased; the date, time and place of death; and the circumstances of death. Once the inquiry is complete the judge provides a written report.
The judge may make recommendations for the prevention of similar incidents, but can't make any findings of legal responsibility.
Public fatality inquiry reports are organized by year of issue, with the most current decisions listed first. The search page may be used to find decisions using specific keywords.
