  I strongly disagree. You can vet someone properly, they can have good references, work experience and history, then they come in and do something stupid and it still falls on someone else? If they did the appropriate amount of due diligence (and can show that) I don’t see why someone else’s mistake would roll up like that.

    It doesn’t fall on someone else, the person who fucked up is still culpable, it’s just the people that hired them and directed their work ( you can’t be liable if you don’t direct their work it’s how the chain works) can be held liable too.

    You can disagree all you want, but why would your boss who directs you not be liable for what they get you to do….?

      But now you’re changing your argument. Before you said the producer is responsible for everything that happens on set, and made it sound like the US system is worse for not holding him responsible, but now it’s if he was “directly” in charge of her supervision and didn’t stop her from doing something unsafe, which IS how it works in the US as well, so what have you been complaining about this entire time?

        I never changed my argument, yes as owner/producer he’s responsible for anything/anyone on site. That’s what being a producer/owner means, you’re liable for any action your company does or doesn’t do.

        and made it sound like the US system is worse for not holding him responsible,

        Uhh… it is, but you also started. Topic that’s entirely different to the article anyways.

        but now it’s if he was “directly” in charge of her supervision and didn’t stop her from doing something unsafe,

        No, that was the point the entire time, but you are off on a topic unrelated to the article apparantly.

        fe, which IS how it works in the US as well, so what have you been complaining about this entire time?

        That’s not how it works in the states, like at all… it would be a civil trial, not criminal, wholefully different things. And if it was actually how it worked, he probably wouldn’t get off on a technicality like this….
