September resumption for Charlotte Ten Tors inquest
THE inquest into the death of a Bideford teenager who died while training for the Ten Tors challenge is due to resume in September.
Charlotte Shaw, 14, drowned in a rain-swollen stream while she was preparing for the two-day trek across Dartmoor in March 2007.
In December, coroner Elizabeth Earland adjourned the inquest to refer the case back to the Crown Prosecution Service because of concerns about the evidence she heard from fellow classmates.
The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed in April that no further action would be taken.
Last month lawyers acting for Charlotte's mother, Jennifer Wilkin-Shaw, filed a High Court claim for negligence against her daughter's school, Kingsley College which was then called Edgehill School, and a teacher who led the overnight training expedition.
