StormHarbour Securities LLP is liable for the 2012 death of an employee who died when a helicopter crashed into the Andes mountains in Peru, killing 14 people, a London judge ruled.
The securities firm was in breach of its duty of care to Tomas Dusek by doing “nothing to investigate into the safety of the proposed helicopter flight,” Judge Nicholas Hamblen said in a ruling today. “If Mr. Dusek had not gone on the flight, then he would not have been killed.”
