Abstract
Five years ago the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 introduced a new offence of corporate manslaughter into UK criminal law in order to attempt to better hold corporate bodies accountable for deaths caused by their health and safety failings. Whilst noting that the Act undoubtedly constitutes a major conceptual advance, largely moving beyond the weaknesses of the old law, it is argued that its effectiveness is nonetheless fundamentally weakened by the range of artificial restrictions, limitations and qualifications found within its small print and accordingly is in need of further reform.
