Preparations for an inquest into the deaths of Addison Stewart, Zane Mellor, Jye Sheehan, Jalailah Jayne-Maree Jones, Peter Dodt and Chace Harrison were put on hold in February.The inquest was told WorkSafe Tasmania refused to hand over documents to the coroner because doing so could prejudice the regulator's investigation and potential prosecutions.

The court was told the documents include an engineer's report, and statements of three TaZorb employees and two department of education staff. The victims of the Devonport jumping castle tragedy: Peter Dodt, 12, Addison Stewart, 11, Zane Mellor, 12, Jye Sheehan, 12, Jalailah Jayne-Maree Jones, 12 and Chase Harrison, 12.

"The matter remains under investigation and that is an important element of our claim in this case," O'Farrell said.
