A mock trial is being staged in Leicester's historic Guildhall
to make Directors of Businesses aware of threat posed by the
Corporate Manslaughter & Homicide Act.
Leading insurance broker Brett and Randall is staging this event
as the first prosecution under the act happened earlier this year
when Cotswold Geotechnical were prosecuted and fined £385,000
following the death of an employee who was killed when a trench in
which he was working collapsed.
Stephen Rann, an account executive at Brett and Randall, said:
"We did not want to put on just another technical seminar so we
decided to stage a mock trial as we believe it's a more
entertaining and interactive way of getting over some important
points to Directors of businesses"
Weightmans Solicitors, who have offices in Leicester, are
joining forces with Brett and Randall in the staging of the mock
trial, which will take place on the 14th July 2011.
Numbers will be limited but anyone interested in attending this
free event, should please email info@brettandrandall.co.uk
