Did Crew Negligence Contribute to Superyacht Sinking? Investigators Probe Fatal Disaster
Its a fairly standard approach to health and safety that only the Anglo-Saxon world finds peculiar. In Continental systems, its is usual for Prosecutors to lead an investigation. In the UK, the Police or HSE would investigate, and present to the CPS. The CPS will then decide if it is in the public interest to prosecute, and generally only proceed if they think they can secure a verdict (which is why most people in court are found guilty). Police criminal investigations are a bit different from HSE. The police will determine ifa crime occurred. The HSE will take the view that an accident will always have fault; someone is liable, to differing degrees. And often their investigations will have no defence because of statutory requirements. HSE investigations can also be supranational, beyond the UK borders. The defence is usually mitigation. If the UK had a continental system, we wouldn't have had Grenfill still standing as a blacked ruin all these years later. Liable parties would have been placed on notice much earlier on. Instead the early reaction was about the colour of the local council, because people were filling in gaps themselves, in the absence of direction from the authorities. The Italian system means that if he went to work for Ferrari, Adrian Newey will likely never step foot in Italy. Different legal systems can puzzle people. In the UK, we went up in arms when the US extradited and threw in prison Natwest executives during an investigation. A Taiwanese friend was genuinely surprised that Nick Leeson wasn't executed by Singapore. The motoring world was aghast that Carlos Ghosh was held in solitary in Japan while awaiting trial, and had to escape to Lebanon. The English are surprised about trial without jury until its pointed out to them abotu Diplock courts in Northern Ireland. And then in Thailand how suspects (innocent until proven guilty) are paraded by the police and made to re-enact their supposed crimes. I think in the case of the Bayesian, there is information emerging that casts doubt on the immediate Anglo-Saxon thinking, that there was a terrible storm, and accident. A UK investigation would probably arrive at the same conclusion, but first would be engaged in determining if an offence had occured, rather than if an offence had not. The HSE is more akin to the latter. -
