The next Gough Square Live event will take place on Tuesday, 5th May 2026.
In this episode of Gough Square Live, Cameron Crowe KC and Robin Kingham will examine the Government’s current consultations on product safety reform and what they mean for regulators and regulated businesses alike. They will explore the proposed shift to a single, modernised product safety framework, the expansion of duties across the supply chain and, critically, the move towards consolidated enforcement powers and civil monetary penalties. Drawing on recent experience from other areas of regulatory practice, they will highlight how these reforms could significantly alter enforcement and litigation strategy. They will also identify key legal and procedural questions that respondents to the consultations may wish to engage with before the new regime takes shape.
