The following case is a good example of The Fire Safety Order applying to NOT just shops, offices, guest houses etc but to one-off and short-term events such as a car boot sale.
THE organizer of a Mansfield car boot fair who breached fire safety regulations has had a £24,000 fine halved on appeal.
Michael John Snow received the fine at Nottingham Crown Court in July, along with a six-month suspended sentence. He was also ordered to do unpaid work.
He admitted eight breaches of fire safety regulations, including blocked fire exits, after holding a car boot sale on four floors of an indoor market at Botany Commercial Park, in Mansfield.
Snow, 54, of Derwent Crescent, Newbold, Chesterfield, had the fine halved to £12,000 at London's Appeal Court yesterday.
Mr Justice Henriques ruled Snow deserved credit for having been "candid" about the breaches.
However, a £9,000 legal costs order against him will remain in place.
