The first edition of Health and Safety Enforcement Law and Practice became the standard text for practitioners in this growing area of the law, providing a portable and authoritative guide to the key issues in health and safety enforcement in a practical and comprehensive manner. The new edition builds on the strengths of the first. It deals comprehensively with health and safety inspectors' enforcement powers; the service and appeal of improvement and prohibition notices; the law relating to health and safety offences; work-related death investigation; the Coroner's procedure; and criminal procedure and sentencing in respect of health and safety offences. The second part of the book reproduces the relevant extracts from the key statutes, the Enforcement Policy Statement, and the most important Health and Safety Regulations. The new edition has been comprehensively updated and the authors have substantially expanded their coverage of judicial review and abuse of process; "reasonable practicability"; disclosure; case management; funding; and the forthcoming Corporate Manslaughter Act. They have also written a new chapter on defending enforcement actions. The text has been scrupulously updated in respect of recent case law, with informed discussion of the implications of decisions made.
