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.
