In this case HREOC decided that SOCOG waste right body in THIS case as they were the one responsible for the design and their Chief Designer was Employed by SOCOG. In this case the other company was in fact only performing work under the direction of SOCOG. My view is both should be considered responsible but in this case it is possible that the attempt to join the company in the action came rather late. I agree that the attitudes of both companies and designers is important but it is a bit of a chicken and egg situation. Can I as a designer morally or legally rely on the "I was only following orders \" defence. Harry Woodrow but remember HREOC determined that it was the commissioning body responsible not the developers of the site. Hence my point, we also need to bring about a change in the attitudes of companies and organisations commissioning web sites - not just the designers/developers. >
