Will the new act begin with a whimper? by David McCluskey

Last week, the first corporate ­prosecution under the much-heralded Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 ended with a fine of £385,000 against Cotswold Geotechnical Holdings. This followed its conviction for ­corporate manslaughter at Winchester Crown Court two days earlier. The Crown Prosecution Service has said that it is considering other cases which may lead to proceedings. http://www.lawgazette.co.uk/in-practice/will-new-act-begin-a-whimper
