CORPORATE MANSLAUGHTER AND CORPORATE HOMICIDE ACT 2008

[k979aaa]

For on this very day 6 april 2008 this act of parliament has come into force!. It also lift's the immunity of govenment bodies makeing them liable for prosecution and has the power to fine upto 10% of turnover or more in the most serious cases!. I now wonder if the royalmail board can continue to stick it's head in the sand over the issue of private car's on delivery!.

Is this act a UK wide one as the Scots have a seperate legal system from England

I know it's symptomatic of the laissez-faire attitude of the management stcking their head's in the sand or up the DOM's backside!.

The Corporate Manslaughter Act 2008 covers England, Wales & I think Northern Ireland the Corporate Homicide Act 2008 relates solely to Scotland.

I take it that under this new act if you have a rta and kill someone and its found to be a result of poor servicing or faliure to send a vehicle to workshops after you pmt it then RM get hammered?
