Farmers using a rental service were not guilty of a safety violation due to lack of direct control.

The Supreme Court dismissed the prosecution's charges against farmers who utilized a rental service for agricultural work. The prosecution argued that the farmers were responsible for safety violations occurring during the rental period, while the defense contended that the rental company held primary responsibility. The court ruled that without direct control over the work process, the farmers could not be held criminally liable for safety breaches committed by the rental operator.
