"The government finally issued, in March 2005, its draft Bill on Corporate Manslaughter together with a consultation document. This comes almost 8 years after it pledged in its first manifesto to introduce a new offence of corporate killing. It is worth noting that the much more emotive title of 'corporate killing' has been abandoned in this draft, the government preferring to stick with an offence of corporate manslaughter. The draft Bill will codify the law and in so doing abolish the common law offence of manslaughter by gross negligence in so far as it applies to corporations."
