Coroner for South Cumbria and Furness, Ian Smith, says the inquest into the deaths of seven people following an outbreak of legionnaires' disease at the Forum 28 Arts Centre in Barrow in Furness in 2002 will start at Barrow Magistrates' Court on 4 June and is expected to last five days.
The outbreak was traced to a faulty air-conditioning unit at the arts centre.
