C-68.01 - Coroners Act
Section 91.1
Disposition versions
91.1. Despite section 91, when the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions has authorized a prosecution following a person’s death, the coroner shall postpone the finalization of his report until the Director notifies him of the end of the criminal proceedings.
Similarly, the coroner shall postpone the finalization of his report if a record is submitted to the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions for examination as to whether proceedings should be instituted or if the causes and circumstances of a death allow the coroner to believe that a record could be so submitted. The Director shall inform the coroner of the findings of his examination.
However, the coroner may, in the cases provided for in the second paragraph, draw up his report if he is of the opinion that he may not further postpone its finalization. The coroner shall then consult the police force concerned or the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions to ensure that the report does not contain any information which may impede the investigation.
