gross negligence manslaughter
I wonder whether IOM/UK lawyers will consider whether the concept of a "controlling mind" was at work here?
Parkfell raised this in an earlier post. it deserves a measured response.
I have just finished the September 2007 OneTwoG0 Thai aircrash MD82 Phuket, Coroners Inquest in Lincoln. Not accidental death, but a narrative verdict that explicitly cited systemic failures at management level that permeated down to the line pilots, resulting in the deaths of 90, of which 8 were British.
Had the 2007 Corporate Manslaughter Act been in force, then a submission of unlawful killing would have been made. That 2007 Act takes away the need for a controlling mind. Now, all that needs to be demonstrated is "management failure" in the broader sense.
The Coroner's Inquest for this tragedy will be somewhat different from OneTwoGo, although both have common features.
