The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007

An organisation to which this section applies is
guilty of an offence if the way in which its activities
are managed or organised—
(a)causes a person's death, and
(b)amounts to a gross breach of a relevant duty of
care owed by the organisation to the decease
The Offence
• Section(3)An organisation is guilty of an
offence under this section only if the way in
which its activities are managed or organised
by its senior management is a substantial
element in the breach referred to in
subsection (1).
The Offence
• Section 4
• ‘a breach of a duty of care by an organisation is a “gross” breach if
the conduct alleged to amount to a breach of that duty falls far
below what can reasonably be expected of the organisation in the
circumstances;
• (c)“senior management”, in relation to an organisation, means the
persons who play significant roles in—
• (i)the making of decisions about how the whole or a substantial
part of its activities are to be managed or organised, or

part of those activities.
