Use when acting for a person who asks the State Coroner to set aside all or some of a Queensland coroner's findings about a death.

## Used for these tasks

- [Assess whether to seek an order that an inquest be held or that a completed inquest be quashed](https://ailawframework.com/practice/coronial-inquests.md#A61-OB20261022-6)

## How AI may be used

The tool may list the findings and any later documents the lawyer has marked, and it writes nothing in the application.

**AI may:**

- List the findings, their date, and any later document the lawyer has marked as possible new evidence

**AI must not:**

- Must not write the reasons or describe evidence as new evidence
- Must not decide whether section 50(4) is met
- Must not lodge the application

**The lawyer checks:**

- Form 21, addressed to the State Coroner
- The findings are identified, and the application says whether all or some are to be set aside
- The reasons meet the two grounds printed on the form, as the lawyer advises
- The applicant signs
