Liability Risk and Insurance
Hatfield evidence
New evidence from the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has been handed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) which could lead
to manslaughter charges against Balfour Beatty and Railtrack executives in respect of the four-death, 70-injured Hatfield
train crash in October 2000. The HSE has provided an interim report but the full report will be delayed until a decision is
taken on legal proceedings.
