Just of late I have been reading and trying in Laymans terms to understand a small part of the UK Corporate Manslaughter Act ( CMA),

In one sentence this act implies than any person working on behalf of the company in question ( who employ that person)( this could be Stormharbour) has a duty of Care even if the person employed is using his or her own vehicle whilst employed on company business, so if I take that as meaning the employing company(could be Stormharbour) would also be covered by that Duty of care if the person was involved with said Helicopter crash.

I hope Flying Lawyer will see this and possibly put in his thoughts , for this CMAct now covers everyone in business in the UK, so looking backwards and experiencing how Insurers wriggle out of so called "Cast Iron " cases it means even small business's will need to ensure they are well covered for sad incidents like this one in question.
