CRIMINAL LITIGATION

© Copyright LexisNexis 2026. All Rights Reserved.

Asda Stores Ltd v Wandsworth London Borough Council [2007] All ER (D) 06 (Feb)

The defendant company was charged with two offences under a single paragraph of the Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 1995 (SI 1995/1763)—one for failure to control pests and one for failure to minimise the risk of contamination. The company argued that there should have only been a single charge.

HELD The paragraph in question created more than one offence and so the charges had been correctly laid against the company.
