On disclosure and next of kin, as raised by the noble Lord, Lord Morrow, and the noble Baroness, Lady Suttie, the Court of Appeal was clear that ICRIR has the capability to replicate investigations that were previously with the police and the ombudsman, and to fulfil human rights obligations in those cases. The Court of Appeal also explicitly recognised the wide powers of ICRIR, including its unfettered access to all information, documents and materials as it reasonably requires in connection with the review, stating that these powers should not be underestimated.
