I have a couple of tree members who were involved with High Court cases, one leading to a suicide which I have the newspaper reports and coroners report.
Do I create a new fact called say Litigation or just use the Misc fact? Any advice would be appreciated.

There are no Standard GEDCOM Facts that are suitable, unless you cite all the Source details against the Death event.

Misc must be a Custom Fact that you have imported or defined, so it is a personal choice as to what Custom Fact you choose to use.
Litigation sounds like a good all embracing Fact to cover all manner of court cases.

To determine whether a Fact is Standard or Custom use Tools > Work with Fact Sets.
In the Fact Set box at the top select Standard and only Standard GEDCOM Facts are listed.
Alternatively, for each Event/Attribute if its Fact Set column entry is Standard it is a Standard GEDCOM Fact.
All the others are Custom Facts.

Your're right, the Misc fact must have been imported from Family Tree Maker when I started using the 'New FH Ver 4' several years ago.
In checking the Custom Facts there are ten that I must have created over the fifteen years or so of using FTM from the early days of the pre-internet MSDos version where I was just storing facts passed down without thought of sharing the data with other computer programmes.
