Quentin Hunt was instructed by the Health and Safety Executive in a high profile case at Canterbury Crown Court regarding the failure of a tyre fitting company to protect its employees form risks to their Health and Safety. The company’s failings led to the death of a young tyre fitter when a large tyre exploded while he was working on it leading to fatal injuries.

Following successful prosecution, the company was fined £1,000,000.00 and ordered to pay the costs of the Health and Safety Executive.

The matter was covered extensively in local and national press and details can be seen on the following websites:
