Failure to complete work in an unworkman like manner - Part 2

So in this part we'll look start to look at how Artur intended to lay bricks on the foundations that were incorrectly laid. 
Artur's appointed brick layers had done ~1 day of laying bricks before leaving site and not returning.  I suspect they realise the foundations where in the wrong place as outlines in Part 1 of this and decided this was a job they did not want to be involved in.  But this was not until they had laid some bricks which actually overhang the foundations as shown in the photo below.  I think they thought that back filling around the bricks as they went would mean this would not be spotted.  But once inspection pits were dug it became clear what had happened.
Where these bricks are the wall would be 1m high so have a significant downward pressure and would have failed after a very short period of time.

All the information in this post was provided as part of the court case.

Failure to complete work in an unworkman like manner - Part 1

I didn't know a lot about foundations until I had to work with Artur.  All the following was provided during the court case.  To be fair to Artur, personally he did not actually do any work on site - he had got his "team" to do the work, but lets have a look at the first part of the failings - the spread of the foundations.  I found a good web site Paving Expert for information on foundations

Paving Expert says

Any footing should be at least 100mm wider on each edge than the thickness of the intended brickwork. So, for a 225mm thick wall, we will typically pour a 450mm wide footing. For load-bearing walls, the strip footing may be 600mm wide. The footing is typically 150mm thick, though this may be reduced to 100mm for smaller walls on good ground, or increased for heavier walls on bad ground.

What did I get?  The foundation was not even laid where the wall would go let alone provide a "spread" to support the wall.
