Law activities

This session explores the liability of companies for the deaths of workers or members of the public. The challenges of prosecuting an ‘entity’ rather than an individual are placed under the spotlight. Using recent case law, students will confront the difficulties that face prosecutors and debate the workability of the law in this area.

Through a fictional scenario, students will learn about the offence of theft, the nature of a triable 'either-way' offence and basic client interviewing skills. Students will be required to devise a series of questions which will advise their client of their legal position.
