INA LANDMARK LEGAL ACTION likely to have serious ramifications for dive-charter businesses, the nine-year-old son of Lex Warner, the technical diver who died in Scotland in August 2012 following an injurious fall on a boat-deck, has been awarded £290,000 in compensation.
A judge at the Court of Session in Edinburgh finally ruled on 3 September that Andy Cuthbertson, proprietor of Orkney-based Scapa Flow Charters, had done too little to minimise risks to divers moving around his dive-boat Jean Elaine while wearing fins.
