Legislation / Legal

MoJCustody providers, including prisons, secure hospitals, police & juvenile detention facilities, are now covered by corporate manslaughter laws.  The Government has also extended the law so that it will also apply to Ministry of Defence and UK Borders Agency customs custodial facilities.
 
The Corporate Manslaughter Act 2007, which came into effect in 2008, created a new offence of corporate manslaughter which can be committed by organisations which cause the death of a person through gross negligence management failings.
