Joshua Carey

Inquests & Public Inquiries

Before joining 2 Hare Court Joshua dealt with the coronial inquiry into the first death in custody of a person in Federal Immigration detention whilst in Queensland.

This inquiry involved taking voluminous witness statements regarding Government Policy, practice and procedure and synthesising the information relevant to the coroner’s determinations. It was also necessary to advise on the likely liability and interaction between the other third party providers who were responsible for the health and security of those housed in the detention facility.
