why is the onus on proving they arent negligent when in the UK every criminal legal precedence is set on the presumption of innocence??? surely they have to prove they were negligent??

And if these arent criminal cases then how are these compo judgements in any way legally enforcable??

I dont see why there needs to be a different burden of proof compared to criminal cases. After all if people are going to prison for corporate manslaughter then surely they are entitled to the same due process and protection as anyone else accused of a crime?

your right. the whole thing is fucking ridiculous.
