🔨 **Tata Steel Trial Update: Jury Discharged** 🔨
Big news from the Port Talbot steelworks case! The trial involving Tata Steel and alleged health and safety breaches has hit a pause. A jury has been discharged due to personal issues with legal counsel.
For those not following, this all started with a scary incident back in February 2022. Toxic gases were released from a blast furnace while workers were nearby, leading to two hospitalisations. Tata Steel is accused of not ensuring adequate safety measures but maintains they’re innocent.
The trial, held at Swansea Crown Court, was just diving into week two when the decision came down. The judge, after thoughtful consideration, decided it was best for justice to start fresh with a retrial. So, hold tight— we’ll all have to wait for the update on October 10, when a new trial date is expected to be set.
