Appeals Panel Reduces Dreamspace Artist’s Fine

“The creator of an inflatable artwork which blew away, killing two women, won an appeal today against the £10,000 fine imposed on him for breaching health and safety regulations. Artist Maurice Agis, 77, who was convicted at Newcastle crown court of breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act by failing to ensure the safety of members of the public, had the penalty reduced to £2,500 by three judges at the court of appeal in London.”
