In principle it shouldn't happen for mistakes; gross negligence maybe.
Unfortunately in the last few years things have changed, and in my eyes not for the better, the CAA have basically stated that you do not need to adhere to parts of the maintenance manuals, something that was previously cast in stone and the gotcha for all of those that fail to carry out the required work, but now by the fact it is left up to the individual (quite wrongly in my eyes) it can open up a can of worms in personal interpretation as to what is and is not required, and that can in itself lead to maintenance being budget orientated and not safety.
