2 Hare Court | London Barristers Chambers - One of the UK's leading sets
News 28/06/2016

Monavon Construction Limited pleaded guilty in May to two offences of corporate manslaughter and one offence contrary to section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The case arose out of the tragic deaths of two men who died when they pushed one another against hoarding, which surrounded a construction site operated by Monavon, which collapsed. The men fell into an unprotected light well.

HHJ Worsley, sitting at the Central Criminal Court, imposed a fine of £250,000 on each count of manslaughter and £50,000 for the HSWA offence, to be paid within 2 years.

Jonathan Laidlaw QC and Craig Ferguson were instructed by Nina Dhillon of DWF LLP.

Oliver Glasgow QC and Julia Faure Walker prosecuted.
