Hassell must go

Over the past few weeks, the JC has focused on the appalling behaviour or Mary Hassell, senior coroner of the St Pancras Coroner’s Court. An official complaint has now been lodged with the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office. It is to be hoped that this is the first step towards her removal. As we show this week, she is alone among coroners in Britain in her refusal to make the least accommodation with Jews and Muslims. She is unfit for her office and must go.
