Yes. The Coroners
It was just after one of the Lockdowns with restrictions still in place, it was to determine the cause of death of a care home resident.
There were four parties involved, all lawyered up, and about a dozen witnesses. The questioning seemed to go on forever with the most common question being 'Can you tell me what the deceased had for lunch three and a half years ago?' 'No. No I can't'. It did get quite interesting when the experts came in.
Anyway, I saw on the news recently that our verdict had been overturned on appeal and they're going to do it all again!
Oh and some of it was done on Zoom which wasn't exactly ideal.
