U.K. corporate manslaughter legislation approved

Britain's Labour government won a decade-long legislative battle Monday to hold corporate executives responsible when negligence results in deaths at work. The advance was part of broader changes by the government...aimed at making British law in such cases less favorable to companies and more favorable to victims. Current laws are designed to prosecute individuals rather than corporate executives...[T]he Corporate Manslaughter Bill...will become law...probably within the next week...The Confederation of British Industry, the largest U.K. employers' group, urged judges to use the new law with caution.
