Anyone know of any Mock Trials in yorkshire this year, would be better if it was on a cable strike

I have been to mock trials before but never heard of one as specific as a cable strike. They did to focus either on general issues such as slips trips and falls or ones where grows into something massive eg a drum of chemical  is being transported on the forks of a FLT. It falls off (was it secured?)  employees are injured and exposed to something nasty while doing the clean-up (no spill kit, no emergency PPE no spillage plan, no training etc.) the chemical has both acute effects and long-term health effects. Then the liquid gets into the sewer and a local water course-it just gets better. Who prosecutes who sues, who gets the blame and what does it mean for that plan for an expanded site  you have submitted?

The big law firms like Eversheds in Leeds do them.

I think Moot Courts are rarely public so there is little information about them. Only insiders have information.

An alternative would be to contact the HSE offices in the area/s you are willing to travel to and ask if they have any prosecution coming up. Why not go to witness a real trial? Admittedly these are more likely to be based on a guilty plea, but from experience what you will probably see is they plead guilty, and then the defence will try to make out why they are not really guilty. As a result, the HSE (prosecution) will need to put the full details across in their submission as to why the defendant is guilty. 

All HSE prosecutions are open to the public to attend and I'm sure they would be happy to provide details on upcoming cases.

Regards.
