Corporate Manslaughter Bill begins its journey
Monday 6 July 2009 9:35 AM
After much anticipation the government has finally introduced its Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill into Parliament. Under its proposals, an organisation will be found guilty of corporate manslaughter if someone dies as a result of a ‘gross failure’ of its senior managers. It seeks to close the current loophole in the law that means that organisations can only be convicted of manslaughter if a single individual at the very top of the company is also personally liable – a point that has tended to ‘protect’ large organisations, since the decision making process is usually delegated down to a senior management team.
We’ll keep you informed of its progress through parliament.
