The death of a worker, who was overcome by poisonous gas fumes during the delivery of chemicals to a well-known food manufacturer, has culminated in fines totalling £350,000.

The Court of Appeal has ruled against high-street retailer New Look after the company appealed that the £400,000 fine it received last year in relation to fire-safety breaches was excessive.

A SUBSIDIARY of engineering firm Jarvis was fined £400,000 on 5 July at Sheffield Crown Court after a goods train was derailed by a piece of track left after emergency repair work.
