Her family's lawyer, Sefton Kwansnik, told a pre-inquest hearing a doctor had advised that Ms Williams "should not be held" at the Reading hospital.
A further hearing will take place in November, with a full inquest in the first half of next year.
Sarah's family say that's over 4 years since her death in December 2015 it not fair.
Mr Kwansnik told the court: "If Sarah had been transferred on 17 November (2015), we may well not be having this inquest."
He said Dr Rami El-Shirbiny did not believe 36-year-old Ms Williams had been "appropriately placed on Daisy ward" due to a "fire risk".
Sarah's family also say they feel her mental health deteriorated rapidly due to negligence and an attack by a member of staff that left her in a vulnerable state of mind.
'official 'Complaints were ignored' and the attack declared 'violent' 'aggressive' and 'unjustified'.
So far we are unaware of any prosecutions against staff responsible 3 years on.
Sarah's family were not even made aware or involved in this process to help her through investigations whilst being detained.
Mr Kwansnik also raised concerns about Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust paying for its own "independent" investigation.
However, coroner Alison McCormick said she was "satisfied" the evidence would be "sufficient".
Sarah's Family feel it will not be a 'fair equal hearing' without instructing their own independent experts. They feel that their our representatives have not had full disclosure regarding privileged documents and this is ' NOT' a level playing field.
It is fair to say the system works in their favour.
This is like moving a mountain but we have faith in our two amazing 'Independent ' lawyers. With their support we can fight for 'Equality'
