Abstract

The article presents the author's views on the number of cases related to corporate manslaughter. The author, on going through a study of corporate manslaughter cases, found that there was a strong prima facie case for prosecuting about 40 cases of corporate manslaughter a year. The author insists the main obstacles to prosecution include a lack of resources and political will to prosecute, as well as a lack of training and legal understanding of how the law applied to corporate defendants.
