Six Pump Court is 'excellent for regulatory cases'. The team brings extensive experience in handling high-profile health and safety matters for clients in the oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, rail, health and retail sectors. Additionally, the group garners praise for its expertise in food safety regulatory matters. Mark Watson KC is acting in proceedings arising from the amputation of an engineer’s arm after it became stuck in a lift shaft. Among the juniors, Pascal Bates successfully prosecuted on behalf of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in HSE v Cambridgeshire County Council, where the council was convicted of safety mismanagement failures over an 11-year period, concerning multiple fatalities and injuries suffered by pedestrians and cyclists on and near the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway. The council received a £6m fine, which is considered to be one of the largest fines imposed on a local authority for safety breaches.
