34E Limitation period for prosecution (1) Despite section 232, the limitation periods in that section do not apply in respect of industrial manslaughter. (2) To avoid doubt, the limitation periods in section 232 do prevent a guilty verdict for an alternative offence if the proceeding for industrial manslaughter was not commenced within the applicable limitation period in that section.
