Fatal accident investigation Sample Clauses

Fatal accident investigation. In England and Wales, with cases where the police are leading (in accordance with the WRDP), then they will manage all evidence associated with an investigation potentially involving gross negligence or corporate manslaughter. If they make a decision not to pursue their investigation beyond its initial stages, or not to put such a case to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), or if the CPS do not support such a case, then the investigation and evidence should be handed back to the relevant regulators/ agency (see section 4 for lead regulator/ agency). In Scotland, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) have responsibility to lead the investigation of any sudden or suspicious death. The police investigate under the Procurator Fiscal’s direction. Although the Fiscal cannot direct other agencies such as the HSE and the MHRA, they are expected to comply with any reasonable requests for assistance. Until common law crimes (e.g. culpable homicide) or statutory offences enforced by the police (e.g. corporate manslaughter and corporate homicide) are ruled out, then the police, under the direction of the Fiscal, will lead any enquiry. They will gather, record and keep any evidence, taking advice from the agency. If the Scottish Work Related Death Protocol (SWRDP) applies, the police have primacy until serious offences other than health and safety offences are ruled out – this means a joint investigation with the police leading. If primacy passes from the police to the regulator/ agency, then the evidence can be transferred to the relevant regulator/ agency (see section 4 for lead regulator/ agency). The police will retain an interest, in case new evidence emerges pointing towards serious criminal offences and also for the purpose of securing evidence for any Fatal Accident Inquiry.
