The Coroner's Inquest into the death of Ian Tomlinson is resumed on Monday 28 March 2011 at the IDRC, 70 Fleet Street, London EC4Y 1EU and is expected to last until early May 2011.

Priority for space in the Inquest hearing will be given to those directly involved in the proceedings. A limited numbers of spaces are set aside for accredited media and the general public. This website will carry written transcripts.

Arrangements have also been made for the public and media to watch the hearing from a court annexe located on the same floor. This court annexe will be served by a live audio and video link to the court room and members of the public and accredited media will see and hear what is seen and heard in open court. The court annexe will also have a running display of the transcript service on view.

The court annexe is an extension of the court room itself with the same rules and code of conduct. This means that when the court is sitting the use of mobile telephones, laptops, other communications or recording equipment, cameras and personal stereos is governed by strict guidelines.

Smoking, eating and drinking is also not permitted, although water is provided in the annexe.
