Guide to the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007

Working out if the New Offence Applies to a Particular Case

In some circumstances, it may be easier to consider first whether the activity which the death relates is exempt, for example, deaths involving the armed forces, policing and law enforcement, the response of the emergency services or rescue operations, child protection and probation work. This might also be a useful early consideration in cases involving significant public policy questions and types of activity requiring statutory powers.
