The law and practice of inquests arising from deaths in healthcare. Sentencing in Fire Safety Offences DESCRIPTION:Due to concerns regarding the coronavirus\, this event is postp oned.  New date/s will be announced when available.\n \;\n\nLecture O ne: An essential guide to the law &\; practice of inquests arising from deaths in healthcare\n\nRecent appellate decisions\, including Parkinson and Childlow\, have created uncertainty as to the scope of inquiries into deaths arising in the healthcare sector. This seminar provides practitione rs with a concise survey of the developing law and procedure in this conte ntious area including:\n\n Summary of European and E&\;W case law\n W hen A2 ECHR is or is not engaged\n When expert evidence on causation shou ld be admitted\n Sample directions on inquest conclusions\n\nLecture Two: Sentencing in Fire Safety Offences\n\nPractitioners will know that prosec utions arising from inadequate fire safety measures are increasing and so is the tariff. It is thus more important than ever to conduct a rigorous a nd realistic assessment of any likely sentence at an early stage. But with fire safety excluded from the Definitive Guideline\, and with a new Gener al Guideline for non-guideline offences having been published only very re cently\, sentencing of these cases remains something of an anomaly.\n\nIn the post-Grenfell climate\, this seminar provides an essential and practic al guide to dealing with fire safety enforcement and sentencing\, includin g:\n\n The relevance of the new General Guideline and how to make use of it\;\n Disputing culpability and risk of harm in fire cases\, and the nee d for a Newton hearing to resolve those disputes (following the Court of A ppeal dicta in R v Montaut [2019] EWCA Crim 2252)\n Trends in sentencing of fire safety offences\n The scope for reform post-Grenfell\n\nTim Green is ranked as band 1 counsel by Chambers UK 2020 for health &\; safety law and environmental work.  Tim has been a member of Attorney General’ s A Panel of approved regulatory advocates since 2012\, regularly provides CPD training for HSLA and has a very substantial practice in coronial law and inquiry work.\n\nRachel Tandy is a barrister at Henderson Chambers sp ecialising in product liability and health and safety\, with a particular focus on fire damage.
