Corporate manslaughter

This legislation makes it easier to prosecute organisations and corporate bodies for failures that result in a person’s death. The courts no longer have to prove that any one individual or individuals acted as the ‘controlling mind’ of the company. Instead, the management systems and practices in place across the organisation will be examined to determine whether failures or deficiencies in these played a contributory role in the death. If the Court then finds that these policies were inadequate, or inappropriate, the company can be convicted of corporate manslaughter.
