It may be your job to point out the law – but it should NOT be your job to
explain it.
If they are in UK why fight them?
Just get you college to send them (and several independent people – Company
Secretary) a note pointing out the risk to the company and to themselves and
end it with a statement that he will obey their instructions if they would
please confirm them by signing below….
Includes words like – I (name) acknowledge the comments that you have made in
this letter – I instruct you to ship (the stuff) – I understand that by signing
this release I accept full legal responsibility on behalf of (the company) and
yourself for any breach of local, National and European Law that may result
from your actions.
The copy to the Company Secretary is to help protect the company (and you –
from any retribution).
If he signs – then do as he says and look for a space to be created in the
management structure.
If you feel guilty shipping hazardous products – then slip a copy to the local
Enforcement Officer and that will make sure the shipment doesn’t get very far.
I’m sorry if this sounds frivolous – but I for one am sick and tired of trying
to explain the law to people that do not want to hear: and do not give a damn.
Best regards
Gregg

Hello Group,
I have a colleague who's bosses are not accepting the old CE+CE ≠ CE argument
and are requesting an 'official line'. I don't believe there is such an
official line, merely legal precedent in the case of the Cardiff PC supplier
prosecuted in 1996. However, if anyone knows of any other information to aid
him in convincing them I'd be very grateful.
Regards,
Dave Graham
