Description: The Full Bench of the Industrial Court of NSW has now handed down its decision on the appeal in Newcastle Wallsend Coal Company Pty Ltd & Ors v McMartin [2006] NSWIRComm 339 (5 December 2006). The decision overturns previous heavy fines imposed on two of the company officers, but it affirms the guilt of the two companies concerned in the management of the Gretley colliery when four miners died in an inrush of water on 14 November 1996, and re-affirms the personal conviction of the Mine Manager at the time.
