A signage company responsible for the deadly Wall Street collapse on Swanston Street said it should be blamed less than the site's owner, Grocon, for failing to foresee serious structural hazards.
Grocon, who signed a contract with Australia to put an advertising sign on the wall that collapsed in 2013 and killed three people, admitted that it failed to ensure that people were not at risk.
On Friday, in the County Court, the company submitted an apology expressing deep regret "on behalf of all past and present employees" and saying, it hopes that solving this problem will bring some end to sad family and friends.

In strong winds, the meter portion of the independent Wall and attached advertising hoarding was removed.
Previously, Grocon was fined $250,000 for a safety mistake at Carlton's site-what Victoria's main construction union called a "slap in the face" on the wrist ".
QC Nick Papas, representing the Australian logo, said that his client has acknowledged the fault without conditions, but should not be held accountable for the same as the construction giant Grocon, which owns and controls the tens of millions of pounds. dollar site.
"Grocon is a group of thousands of employees with engineers on site. . . we were a 60-to-70-person sign-
Mr. Papas said. "We say [Aussie Signs]
I am lower than Grocon due to knowledge and control.
Pasas said the grocery store was "full of people watching"the wall]
, Manage it, supervise it, and then leave it for 18 months ", from the erection of signs in 2011 to the triple death in 2013.
But WorkSafe rejected the claim that the Australian logo was "lower in status" than Grocon and said "serious violations are the same ".
The Australian dollar has not taken sufficient measures to ensure [the hoarding]
"It's safe to stick on the wall," said Gregory Lyon of CQ.
"The fact is that when they come to a website they are hired to do a job. . .
They actually took control of the work.
Leon stated that the Australian dollar has failed to obtain a risk assessment, a structural engineering assessment or a building permit, and has failed to ensure that the grocery store has obtained a risk assessment, a structural engineering assessment or a building permit.
Judge David Parsons said he will judge the Australian logo in the County Court next week.
In its judgment against Grocon on 2014, magistrate Charlie Rozencwajg said that every public was at risk as Grocon failed to ensure that the Australian dollar mark had taken steps to ensure the safety of hoarding.
