Quote:quote:Can someone please enlighten me as to the changes in the law? As far as I was aware the Burial Act 1857 and the Disused Burial Grounds (Amendment) Act 1981 were still in force.
From what I understand of the situation, the laws haven't actually changed, just the interpretation of them. The powers that be have just realised that the coroner's office cannot actually enforce the conditions on the exhumation licence, so the system is having to be reviewed with legal advice.
