Rosepark care home inquiry launched

摘要

The Rosepark care home fire in 2004 in which 14 people died is to be the subject of a fatal accident inquiry after a judge dismissed charges against Thomas, Anne and Alan Balmer, the surviving members of the partnership which ran the home.rnAfter hearing legal arguments in the High Court in Glasgow Lord Matthews dismissed the third attempt to prosecute the three on health and safety legislation charges. The judge ruled they could not be held responsible as the Rosepark care home firm they ran had subsequently been dissolved, and Scottish law does not allow for the prosecution of a dissolved partnership.
