Proceeding contribution from Lord Lloyd of Berwick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill.
Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill
I simply wish to ask whether the noble Lord has actually ever heard a judge summing up before a jury in a case of manslaughter. He has to define gross negligence and he usually does it by saying, ““far below the standard which you would expect””.
