A further pre-inquest review hearing has been listed for June 1.
Police, firefighters and paramedics attended the scene at Urmston Lane's junction with Barton Road in Stretford at around 2pm.
Mr Scott was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
The Manchester Evening News has already reported police watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) launched an 'extensive' investigation into the crash.
At a pre-inquest review hearing held last August, representatives for the IOPC said officers were 'some 20-plus seconds' behind Mr Scott at the time and confirmed it was a 'failure to stop'.
At Wednesday's hearing, Mr Morris said he now had a final IOPC report and directed the watchdog to confirm to him how it would be shared with Mr Scott's family, who were present in court.
A report by Greater Manchester Police's serious collision investigation unit has also been completed and received by the coroner, the hearing was told.
Those reports, together with witness accounts, dash-cam footage and body-worn camera footage, are expected to be considered for assessment at the full inquest.
