Guilty plea in Wembley death
Contractor pleads guilty to health and safety failings, which resulted in death of Irish carpenter. By Angela Sammon - 08/04/09
Irish contractor PC Harrington has pleaded guilty to health and safety charges relating to the death of carpenter Patrick O’Sullivan on the Wembley site in 2004.
The company now faces an unlimited fine at the Old Bailey, where the case is due to be heard on May 1.
The company pleaded guilty to a charge under the Health and Safety at Work Act at the City of London Magistrates Court on Friday last.
Patrick O'Sullivan's son, John O' Sullivan, said he hoped the fact that the case had been moved to the central criminal court would warrant a heavier fine.
“Most contractors walk away with a petty fine, I hope now that it's been moved to the central criminal court, PC Harrington will be forced to pay a more serious amount.”
