A Nottingham event organiser has been fined £24,000 after failing to adhere to fire safety regulations.
Michael Snow, organiser of a Mansfield car boot fair pleaded guilty to eight breaches of fire safety regulations. Mr Snow appealed and had his fine reduced to around £12,000. He was also given a 6 month suspended sentence and ordered to carry out unpaid work in the community.
The case serves as a reminder that temporary events organisers are bound by the same rules as other business owners and are not exempt from complying with fire safety regulations.
