On the 26th November 2008 Rogers & Norton in conjunction with Heath Lambert Group hosted a seminar on the impact of Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007.
The seminar at Dunston Hall was attended by over 70 delegates and involved presentations by Mark Hambling and Phil Kerridge, both partners in the practice. Phil analysed the law prior to the 2007 Act coming into force on the 6th April 2008 and considered the law which remains in place following the Act and the current sentencing regime under the Health and Safety at Work legislation.
Mark analysed the new Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 and provided an overview as to what will need to be proven for a successful prosecution and advised on the steps that employers should take so as to ensure that they do as much as possible to avoid prosecution in the unfortunate event of a fatality in the workplace
Commenting on the seminar Mark Hambling indicated that "Rogers & Norton were delighted to be able to co-host this seminar with Heath Lambert and analyse both the legal and insurance issues. The seminar was very popular and clearly demonstrated the awareness of local businesses as to the impact of this Act and the need to be pro-active in ensuring compliance with the legislation".
Following the seminar both Mark and Phil indicated that they are more than happy to discuss, without obligation and initially without charge, the impact of the new Act should any delegate wish to make contact
Although the seminar has now concluded, both Mark and Phil will be happy to answer any further questions on the impact of the Act and can be contacted on the details listed below.
