Watch onWELLINGTON - The management company of White Island, where a volcano eruption killed 22 people, mostly tourists, in 2019, was found guilty of one charge of breaching health and safety law in a New Zealand court on Tuesday.

District Court Judge Evangelos Thomas found Whakaari Management Ltd. , which manages the island on behalf of the owners but did not undertake the tours, was guilty of one health and safety charge. A second charge was dismissed. "It was a reasonably practicable step it should have taken to ensure it met its duty," said Thomas, adding it was a"major failure" that it did not do so.
