The largest pub company in the UK have been found guilty of a health and safety breach after a student died when a fence at a bar collapsed on top of her.
Olivia Burt was studying natural sciences at Durham University and was a member of the sailing club. The 20-year-old died when a decorative screen used to manage the queue at Missoula in Durham fell to the ground on February 7, 2018.
Teesside Crown Court heard how Olivia, from Milford on Sea, Hampshire, fell through a panel in the screen. A section of the screen then fell and other customers landed on top.
