Coroners Act 2008

A coroner has, in the performance of his or her duties as a coroner, the same protection and immunity as a Judge of the Supreme Court has in the performance of his or her duties as a Judge.

A registrar has, in the performance of his or her duties as a registrar in good faith, the same protection and immunity as a Judge of the Supreme Court has in the performance of his or her duties as a Judge.

Despite anything in any Act or the rules, any power, duty or act which might have been exercised or performed by the Coroners Court constituted by a coroner may be exercised or performed by the Coroners Court constituted by any other coroner if the Coroners Court cannot for any reason be constituted by that first mentioned coroner.

For the avoidance of doubt, for the purpose of completion of any matter whether under section 102S or otherwise, the Coroners Court may be constituted or continue to be constituted by a reserve coroner who is a coroner without reconstitution of the Court despite any interruption in continuity of his or her tenure, appointment or engagement.
