An inquest into the death of Chloe Moffat has begun, focusing on the internal actions taken by the UK Treasury. During the proceedings, evidence was presented suggesting that the Treasury failed to follow its established written disciplinary procedures before Moffat's death occurred.

The inquest is tasked with determining the sequence of events and whether institutional failures contributed to the outcome. While the current testimony centers on the lack of adherence to internal policy, the broader context of the disciplinary process remains under scrutiny. The Treasury has not yet provided a detailed public rebuttal to these specific claims in the initial hearings, leaving the extent of their procedural oversight as a primary point of investigation for the coroner. The inquiry continues to examine whether these administrative lapses had a direct impact on Moffat's well-being or if they represent a broader systemic issue within the department's human resources management. Further testimony is expected to clarify the timeline of the disciplinary actions and the specific roles of the officials involved.
