A central London health club has pleaded guilty to breaches of health and safety law following the death of a young banker who was crushed to death as she exited a faulty lift.
Katarzyna Woja, 32, was killed as she vacated the lift at Broadgate Health Club in the City of London after it fell, crushing her between the carriage and the shaft.
The company admitted a series of breaches including allowing the lift to remain in operation in an unsafe condition.
Crown Court judge Deborah Taylor said sentencing for Holmes Place Health Clubs will take place after the conclusion of the trial, due on March 8 next year at Southwark Crown Court.
