The legal action is being brought by South Cambridgeshire District Council after an investigation into policies and procedures at Just Learning's Cambourne nursery, where ten-month-old Georgia Hollick choked to death on a piece of apple in 2006 (News, 19 April 2006). An inquest ruled that the death was a tragic accident.
The case being tried is not directly related to Georgia Hollick's death but follows a prolonged investigation by the council following the accident.
Just Learning is being prosecuted under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and being charged for failing to ensure that persons who may be affected were not exposed to risks to their health and safety.
