Synopsis
Join us at our Mock Trial on 18 June when we look at what happens when work is not planned and managed well. We look at the legal impact for the operative who didn’t follow procedures, and the Senior Manager who didn’t take effective action when challenges on site were developing.
In this new Mock Trial, jurors will consider the events of a fatality in 2022. We return to the scene of an excavation in a busy town centre. The injured person was working close by when he was hit by a reversing vehicle. He fell into the hole, and the vehicle fell on top of him. Sadly, he died at the scene.
We will listen to witnesses explain the challenges on site, including poor planning and limited space. Two defendants will try to persuade the Jury that they are ‘not guilty’ of the charges against them, whilst we hear what the wife of the deceased has to say about the incident.
