A law expert says the Whakaari White Island trial was a messy process. 

The island's owner, Whakaari Management Limited, has been found guilty on one health and safety charge brought by WorkSafe. 

WorkSafe charged 13 parties in 2020; six pleaded guilty ahead of the trial and another six had charges dismissed.

Law expert Chris Gallavin told Mike Hosking that not having corporate manslaughter in our legislation, is a glaring hole. 

He says it would cover a lot of people dying at work, and the members of the public who died in this kind of situation.
