R (on the application of Platts) v South Yorkshire Coroner [2008] EWHC 2502 (Admin), [2008] All ER (D) 244 (Oct)
The coroner, being the primary judge of fact, is entitled to substantial respect in his fact-finding role and in the inferences which he draws from his findings of fact; the Divisional Court should therefore be slow to characterise his conclusions as unreasonable in the Wednesbury sense.
