Horan, who started working for MMA in 2003, told the court that although he was in charge of safety and training for all Quebec MMA employees, he never had an official job description, nor was he given any instruction on how to teach safety standards to employees.
"So you were just given books filled with rules and expected to make do?" asked Thomas Walsh, Harding's lawyer.
"Yes," Horan replied.
