The council was fined £20,000 and ordered to pay costs of £4,466.

The court heard that on 20 September 2006, a trip to an exhibition had been organised for people attending the Aylesbury Day Centre, which is run by the Council. As the group was preparing to return from the exhibition, they were being loaded into a welfare bus via a tail lift at the rear.

One of the group, William Delaney, 67, from Southwark, was using a motorised scooter and was being loaded into the bus. Whilst on the raised tail lift, his scooter came off the back and fell to the ground. He died from head injuries sustained in the fall.
