‘On Friday 9 August 2024 the Court of Appeal released its judgment in the appeal of Exolum Pipeline Systems Limited v HSE [2024] EWCA Crim 947. James Puzey appeared for the HSE with John Cooper KC and Elizabeth Boon for Exolum. The Company’s appeal against conviction was dismissed and its appeal against sentence was allowed. The Company operates the largest fuel pipeline network in the UK. On 9 March 2018 an underground, high pressure, fuel pipeline in Lincolnshire was suspected to be leaking petrol, albeit that was uncertain. The Company engaged a contractor and its own staff to investigate whether there was a leak. This was carried out by digging up the pipeline whilst it was still at high pressure and still pumping petrol.’
