The Northern Territory Supreme Court will hear an appeal from Darwin construction company Kalidonis NT Pty Ltd after it was convicted and fined for two incidents (12 March and 20 March 2020) in which chains snapped while towing an excavator, killing Paul Leach (50).
On 23 August 2024, the company was fined $400,000 and $550,000 concurrently, plus NT WorkSafe’s $70,000 costs and a $1,500 victim levy. The appeal is set for 14 April 2025.
