161: Conduct of directors, employees, or agents attributed
or “When people act for you, you may be responsible for their actions”

You could also call this:

“Handling sensitive information in court cases (now removed from law)”

This part of the law has been removed. It used to be about how to handle special information in court cases that needed to be kept secret for safety reasons. But now, as of 28 November 2023, this section no longer exists in the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. The government decided to take it out of the law. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at another law called the Security Information in Proceedings (Repeals and Amendments) Act 2022.
