You could also call this:

“When this part of the law applies to you after a court decision”

This part of the law applies to you if a court says you did something wrong under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. It doesn’t matter if the court finds you guilty or convicts you of breaking this law. In both cases, you are called an ‘offender’ under this part of the law.
