JCIO 05/21

A spokesperson for the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office said:

The Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice have issued Senior Coroner Martin Fleming with a formal warning following an investigation which upheld complaints that he raised his voice and spoke inappropriately to two members of staff. In reaching their decision, they took into consideration that the coroner had a previously unblemished record of conduct, and that a number of other allegations were not upheld.
