The Attorney General will ask High Court judges later to quash inquest verdicts of accidental death on the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster.
Dominic Grieve will make his request three months after a new report established 41 of those who died in April 1989 might have been saved.
New medical evidence is to be used as a basis for the new inquests application.
Additional factors going before Lord Judge include the alteration of evidence by police and stadium safety.
The original inquest verdicts angered many of the bereaved families who were told at the 1990 hearing that all Hillsborough's victims had been injured by 15:15 on the afternoon of the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
But among the Hillsborough Independent Panel findings published in September was the revelation that 41 fans probably lived beyond that time.
Evidence covering the response by the emergency services after this time was also not heard at the original inquest.
'Wait for justice'Among the relatives who have travelled to London for the High Court hearing is Barry Devonside who lost his teenage son.
"At this moment in time it's the most important thing for all of the families, we have waited 23 years for justice.
"It has gone on for far too long, I was 42 when it started, I'm closer to 66 now.
"For once in my life I am confident, it would be a major shock to everybody if the applications were rejected."
The Panel's findings showed police and emergency services had made "strenuous attempts" to deflect the blame for the disaster on to the fans.
More than 160 police statements had been altered - 116 of them to remove or change negative comments about the policing of the match.
Speaking in the House of Commons on Tuesday, Liverpool Walton MP Steve Rotheram said he was concerned the families of the victims may not have the finances to support any new legal cases.
In response, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said: "I think it might be helpful to say that my department is very mindful of the financial pressures faced by the Hillsborough families.
"We all recognise the very difficult circumstances they have been through and they are certainly in our consideration."
