"Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act, 2007 of United Kingdom (UK) is a landmark legislation." How?

The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act, 2007 of United Kingdom, is a landmark in law as it introduced a new offence, for prosecuting companies and other organisations where there has been a gross failing, throughout the organisation, in the management of health and safety measures having fatal consequences. For the first time in history, companies and organisations could be found guilty of corporate manslaughter as a result of serious management failures resulting in a gross breach of the duty of care. The Act, clarifies the criminal liabilities of companies, including large organisations, where serious failures on the part of the management regarding caring about their men's health and safety measures that led to fatal consequences. Under this Act, prosecutions will be, of the corporate body, and not of the individuals, but the liability of directors, board members or other individuals under health and safety law or general criminal law, will remain unaffected. The corporate body and individuals can still be prosecuted separately for committing health and safety offences. Companies and organisations should keep their health and safety management systems under review, in particular, the way in which their activities are managed and organised by senior management.
