Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

I greatly regret that I have to oppose the amendment. Without the word ““far””, the subsection would read as the test for an ordinary action for damages for negligence. The whole purpose of the word ““gross”” is that there must be something more than that for the criminal law of manslaughter. The word ““far”” is critical here in the definition of ““gross negligence””. Without it, for example, liability for corporate manslaughter would occur far more frequently than liability for ordinary cases of manslaughter. We cannot have different tests for manslaughter by individuals and manslaughter by companies.
