COURTNEY ALLAN FATAL FALL PROSECUTION FINDS OOCL GUILTY – Tim Veater
ref. my earlier piece on the accidental death of Courtney Allan in France
(http://inquiringminds.cc/the-curious-case-of-courtney-allan-was-it-just-another-workplace-accident-or-something-more-sinister-with-connections-to-911-or-china-tim-veater)
here is the update:
“The three sons of a British shipping executive who died after plunging 60ft
down an empty lift shaft on board a Chinese container ship have won an 11-year
battle for justice after a French court found the vessel’s owners criminally
responsible for his death.
The court in Le Havre yesterday found the Hong Kong-based Orient Overseas
Container Line (OOCL) guilty of corporate manslaughter and imposed a €50,000
(£40,000) fine over the death of Courtenay Allan.”

me at least. If others have better access they may like to copy and reproduce

impossible to assess the extent to which the fatal fall was investigated and
explained, or whether the questions I raised remain unanswered. END
