/// After being suspended on full pay in October 2016, he was quietly reinstated last month with just a slap on the wrist by the then-Lord Chancellor David Lidington ///

With his record shouldn't he have been sacked?

[SparklyKid]

Absolutely but, would that not be racist ?

[Mamyalynne]

Sounds a thoroughly unpleasant fellow and unfit for the job.

[dannyk13]

Totally unbelievable that this disgrace to the law profession still has a job.

[Lie-in King]

Yes, he should have been fired from the position.

[dannyk13]

He should have been barred from holding any position within the law profession.

[Gladeian]

Perhaps only a matter of time before his totally unprofessional behaviour and attitude come to attention of the authorities again. I cannot help but think that had this man not been BME he would have been out of a job PDQ.

cant sack im cos hes black innit...plus theyd have to find another one to keep up the quotas...but once bitten twice shy, i can see the quandry they are in...so better the devil you know

Hopefully he'll slip up again very soon and they will get rid of him then !!!

[Peter Pedant]

absolutely not
or abolutely wont - they like it too much along with the moolah

should Brett Cavanagh resign after his appalling show over the last few weeks refuring any suspicion he would make a good judge ?
well he wont anyway

decent moolah and better pension - why giv ei t up

[Peter Pedant]

I am not sure how you get rid of a coroner....
may need a respectful address by both houses of parliament ....

[jackthehat]

It does seem pretty difficult to justify his reinstatement.

///Ultimately, only the Lord Chancellor can fire a coroner....///

Let's hope that this matter receives David Gauke's full attention as a mtter of urgency.

[Peter Pedant]

// it's Da cultcha innit!//
it sure is dat den !

the laternative is to hire and fire judges and coroners
or to have the American system - recently showing how good it is
i wonder if Brett K was asked by da fella - 'are you my man' and what the judge would have replied

I notice that the former deputy westminster coroner - stephanie powers QC has come aout against him - - - if only to record he was as work colleague of mine in 1978....

But incredibly, he is still in his £120,000-a-year job — despite an inquiry concluding his behaviour “amounted to serious misconduct”.

Serious misconduct usually gets you instant dismissal in the real world.

[EDDIE51]

Hate to say it, but I am sure that if he had been White he would have been out on his a*se.
