Lawyers for the family of a soldier who died at Deepcut Barracks have asked a judge to request her body's exhumation.
Judge Brian Barker, recorder of London, is conducting a new inquest over 18-year-old Pte Cheryl James's death in November 1995.
The judge told a pre-inquest meeting he wanted time to consider the request and a number of other submissions.
Pte James was one of four recruits who died at the barracks between 1995 and 2002, amid bullying claims.
Judge Barker began the meeting by asking for "a few moments of reflection".
Surrey Police, which was criticised by families for their handling of the investigations into the deaths, agreed with counsel for Pte James's family that they would not undertake the usual role of providing assistance to the coroner in his investigation.
Privates Benton, James, Gray and Collinson, who all died at Deepcut - June 1995: Pte Sean Benton (far left), from Hastings, East Sussex, found dead with five bullet wounds to chest. Verdict: Suicide
- November 1995: Pte Cheryl James (second left), from Llangollen, Denbighshire, found dead with single bullet wound to head. Open verdict
- September 2001: Pte Geoff Gray (second right), from Seaham, County Durham, found dead with two gunshot wounds. Five shots were fired, three never found. Open verdict
- March 2002: Pte James Collinson (far right), from Perth, found dead with single gunshot wound. Open verdict
Judge Barker said he hoped to start the full hearing, which is expected to last two months, by Easter next year.
Legal charity Liberty said the judge should consider setting up a website to publicise the fresh inquiry in the hope of bringing it tongue attention of those who might have evidence that hadn't yet come to light.
