Makes provision for a new offence of corporate manslaughter (corporate homicide in Scotland) and for this to apply to companies and other incorporated bodies, government departments and similar bodies, police forces and certain unincorporated associations. Rather than being contingent on the guilt of one or more individuals, liability for the new offence rests on a finding of gross negligence in the way in which the activities of the organisation are run. The elements of the new offence are: the organisation must owe a relevant duty of care to the victim; the organisation must be in breach of that duty of care as a result of the way in which the activities of the organisation were managed or organised; the way in which the organisation's activities were managed or organised must have caused the victim's death; and the management failure must amount to a gross breach of the duty of care.
