Good morning
I am after some information on sprinkler systems and I seem to remember some time ago that a Fire Authority issued an enforcement notice on a Company basically telling them that they had to have sprinklers installed. The Company took them to court and I think won the argument. Does anyone know where this was reported.
Thanks

The case was brought by Northants F&RS against City Logistics.
It was about the requirement by the FA for CL to install sprinklers to protect those attending a possible fire.
CL successfully appealed the enforcement and subsequent prosecution.
The Bench decided that Northants F&RS could not use the FP Act [and supporting Regulations] in this way as the legislation is only intended to cover employees and reasonably foreseeable routine visitors - I've paraphrased the decision here.
Hope this helps - BUT
The incoming Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order may well change the current position. No guarantee if or how until the RRFSO is actually on the Statute Book.
