Speaker Rachel Ta ndy.\n\nPractitioners will know that prosecutions arising from inadequate fire safety measures are increasing and so is the tariff. It is thus more important than ever to conduct a rigorous and realistic assessment of any likely sentence at an early stage. But with fire safety excluded from the Definitive Guideline\, and with a new General Guideline for non-guideline offences having been published only very recently\, sentencing of these ca ses remains something of an anomaly.\n\nIn the post-Grenfell climate\, thi s seminar provides an essential and practical guide to dealing with fire s afety enforcement and sentencing\, including:\n\n The relevance of the ne w General Guideline and how to make use of it\;\n Disputing culpability a nd risk of harm in fire cases\, and the need for a Newton hearing to resol ve those disputes (following the Court of Appeal dicta in R v Montaut [201 9] EWCA Crim 2252)\n Trends in sentencing of fire safety offences\n The scope for reform post-Grenfell\n\nTim Green is ranked as band 1 counsel by Chambers UK 2020 for health &\; safety law and environmental work.  T im has been a member of Attorney General’s A Panel of approved regulator y advocates since 2012\, regularly provides CPD training for HSLA and has a very substantial practice in coronial law and inquiry work.\n\nRachel Ta ndy is a barrister at Henderson Chambers specialising in product liability and health and safety\, with a particular focus on fire damage.
