Back in January there was a collective sigh of relief when legal action was taken against both the WA government and prison transport company G4S over the death of Mr Ward:

Charges over prison van death Jan 20 http://bit.ly/pbrQl8

Legal action in Ward case welcomed Jan 21 http://bit.ly/pGlRIV

For their part in his death both the government and G4S could have been fined upto $400 000. However the presiding magistrate in both cases fine each $285 000 because

the government had pleaded guilty to the charges and he had to consider other factors such as the ex-gratia payment made to the family and the improvements the government made to its processes since the breach.

His death could have been avoided:

Magistrate Benn said like the Department of Corrective Services, G4S could have implemented simple safety changes that would probably have prevented Mr Ward’s death.
