Looks like we have some case law at last to back up CDM 2007 regs.

Always tantalising, these proceedings. We learn that an Organisation failed to comply, but not why this was so.
I wonder if the Client Comapny was actually aware of the CDM Regulations at all, and whether they had any sort of access to (or appointment of) a source of competent health and safety advice.

This is not case law. All the parties pleaded guilty and the case was only heard at the local magistrate's court.

You don't even know if there was reasonable guilt or if the parties just decided to "pay up and shut up" to avoid the otherwise inevitable drawn-out proceedings, although from the brief description given it looks like the CDM Regs were overlooked by all.
