MSP in call to toughen laws

Aug 25 2008

Moves to toughen laws on companies found guilty of causing death or injury were launched by a backbench MSP.

Nationalist Dr Bill Wilson claimed the law was too light on firms found criminally responsible for offences that result in death or injury.

Under his proposals for "equity fines", courts would be able to order convicted companies to issue a set number of new shares. These would then be sold and the proceeds paid to the court.
