The hotel manager, owner and two maintenance staff face up to five
years in jail if convicted of manslaughter.
This is the sort of nonsence that used to happen in the UK.
Each blames the other and no-one is convicted. Now the
rules in the UK have been changed so the responsibility
is farely and squarely with the owner. Unless the other
parties have done something stupid, like falsified the test
certificate or similar, they stand no chance of geting put
in the dock, which IMHO is how it should be.
Why? If it was the manager's job to ensure the tests are carried out, and
he didn't,
then why is the owner responsible?
If I own shares in a company that kills someone due to negligent
management, do I and
the other shareholders get prosecuted rather than the company's
management?
I was thinking, working owner (which this person appears to
be), not shareholders in a PLC

as an example, if you had your car passed on an MOT then a couple of days
later your track rod end came adrift causing your car to steer onto the
pavement and kill 2 or 3 pedestrians who is to blame --- i say the tester
as he confirmed that the vehicle was roadworthy and there is no way in
that short time span that part could have worn to that degree. so on this
basis the technitian should be blamed for the hotel disaster if he passed
the instalation as fit for purpose, if he had noticed (or cared) about the
hole in the wall or any other issue he should have failed the system
immediately
