Flimsy defence leaves Leadbitter with ?220k dumper strike penalty

摘要

Construction firm JB Leadbitter has been ordered to pay ?220,000 after a jury ruled it failed to protect a delivery driver who sustained brain damage when he was struck by a dump truck. David Windsor had delivered a mortar silo to a site at Mount Wise, Devonport, Plymouth, on 7 October 2010 where Leadbitter was principal contractor on a project to build 159 homes.
