_v(338) May 2005, 9-14(6)
520 _aDiscusses the draft Bill that would introduce a new offence of corporate manslaughter. The Bill would make an organisation guilty of this offence if the way in which senior managers organise or manage any of their activities causes a person's death and amounts to a gross breach of the organisation's duty of care to the deceased. The offence will apply to any corporate body regardless of the country of incorporation. Although the Bill has been widely welcomed, there are doubts whether it will have the impact that government and other advocates hoped for.
