Northamptonshire shoppers were forced to run for safety as a scaffold collapsed and fell some 20 metres towards them, a court has heard.
Nobody was hurt, but several people required treatment for shock as a result of the incident at the Willow Place Shopping Centre in Queen's Square, Corby on 17 August 2012.
Desborough Scaffolding Limited, of Desborough, was prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) after an investigation established that the scaffold was structurally unsound.
