This case involved compensation awarded to the heirs of a man who had died in an accident in a building site. The employer had been charged with a criminal offence for health and safety failings. A key issue was whether the compensation should be reduced as it was claimed the employee had received training and equipment but had failed to follow health and safety requirements.
