Gangmaster Guilty!

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Gangmaster found guilty in the first GLA prosecution case.

A gangmasters has been found guilty of contravening the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act 2004 at the Sheriff Court of Tayside, Central and Fife at Forfar on Tuesday 29 April 2008.

She is the first person ever to be convicted under the Gangmasters Licensing Act (2004).

Fiona Jane Clark of 6 Bracken Brae, Perth pleaded guilty to acting as a gangmaster between October 2006 and December 2006 without a licence from the Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA). The case has now been adjourned for sentencing until 2pm on the 29 May 2008.

The GLA launched enforcement investigations against the gangmaster shortly after the offence of operating without a licence was introduced in October 2006.

Although Fiona Clark did apply for a licence, the application was refused for reasons including a lack of identity checks on the workers to ensure legal working, no deductions for tax and national insurance on several pay slips and no evidence that tax and national insurance had ever been paid to HMRC. Even though the licence was refused she continued trading without a licence by supplying workers to pick, process and pack potatoes.

During the period where Fiona Clark was supplying workers the further criminal offence of using an unlicensed gangmaster was introduced in December 2006. The labour user that Clark was found to be supplying to after the introduction of the labour user offence received a written warning regarding use of an unlicensed gangmaster.

Paul Whitehouse Chairman of the GLA said:

"There is no hiding place for unlicensed gangmasters. We will seek them out and use the full force of our powers to deal with them. Any gangmaster operating without a licence needs to be lucky all of the time, we only need to be lucky once to catch them."

"Our lawyers are already looking at further prosecution cases and we expect to see more unlicensed gangmasters in court. We will continue to pass all Scottish cases to the Procurator Fiscal to consider for prosecution."
