Hi Folks,
Look at this http://www.nu-riskservic...06541518241372719_1.htm; what's interesting is that the deceased was not at work at the time, but on his way home, and the employer was not responsible for causing the accident that killed him. Though there does seem to be a fairly clear link between the fatality and the conditions he was working in, does this case represent an extension of liability and hence duty?

Is it an extension?
I haven't seen which offences they were convicted of, but I would have thought that s3(1) of the '74 Act could apply as it was argued that the work pattern had caused the accident.

Can I recommend a review of the R v Achtar (judicial review of the HSE) case 2003, which I think puts this prosecution in context.
Regards.
