Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people have an intuitive sense of what "bribery" is. However, it has proved hard to define in law. The current law is both out-dated and in some instances unfit for purpose. The Commission proposes the repeal of the common law offence of bribery, the Public Bodies Corrupt Practices Act 1889, Prevention of Corruption Act 1906 and Prevention of Corruptoin 1916 Act as well as a number of other statutory provisions. These offences will be replaced by two general offences of bribery, and one specific offence of bribing a foreign public official. In addition there will be a new corporate offence of negligently failing to prevent bribery by an employee.

Download or read book Bribery written by Ministry of Justice and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current statutory criminal law of bribery is functional and cases are prosecuted successfully, but it is old and anachronistic, has never been consolidated and there are inconsistencies of language and concepts between the various provisions and a small number of potentially significant gaps in the law. The result is a bribery law which is difficult to understand for the public and difficult to apply for prosecutors and the courts. This draft legislation follows the Law Commission's consultation paper (no 185, ISBN 9780118404457) and final report ("Reforming bribery", Law Com. 313, ISBN 9780102958164). The purpose of the draft Bill is to reform the criminal law of bribery to provide for a new consolidated scheme of bribery offences to cover bribery both in this country and abroad. The Bill replaces the offences at common law and under the Prevention of Corruption Acts 1889 to 1916 with two general offences covering the offer, promise and giving of an advantage or the request, agreeing to receive or acceptance of an advantage. The Bill also creates a discrete offence of bribery of a foreign public official and a new offence of negligent failure of commercial organisations to prevent bribery. The other main provisions of the Bill include: extra-territorial jurisdiction to prosecute bribery committed abroad by persons ordinarily resident in the UK as well as UK nationals, and UK corporate bodies; replacing the existing requirement for the Attorney General's consent to prosecute a bribery offence; a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment for all new offences, save the corporate offence, which will carry an unlimited fine.

Book excerpt: This Consultation Paper is intended to build on a previous Law Commission report on bribery and corruption (ISBN 9780102882988), taking into account Parliamentary and Government reactions and related international Conventions since signed by the UK. The Paper considers the following in detail: the current law; previous attempts to reform the law of bribery; a model for bribery; the conduct element of the new bribery offence; the fault element; a separate offence of bribing a foreign public official; defences, barriers to prosecution and ancillary matters; corporate liability; assisting and encouraging bribery; bribery committed outside England and Wales. Proposals include the suggestion that the law of bribery should not draw a distinction between bribery in the public sector and bribery in the private sector.
Book Synopsis Modern Bribery Law by : Jeremy Horder
Download or read book Modern Bribery Law written by Jeremy Horder and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bribery Act 2010 is the most significant reform of UK bribery law in a century. This critical analysis offers an explanation of the Act, makes comparisons with similar legislation in other jurisdictions and provides a critical commentary, from both a UK and a US perspective, on the collapse of the distinction between public and private sector bribery. Drawing on their academic and practical experience, the contributors also analyse the prospects for enforcement and the difficulties facing lawyers seeking asset recovery following the laundering of the proceeds of bribery. International perspectives are provided via comparisons with the law in Spain, Hong Kong, the USA and Italy, together with broader analysis of the application of the law in relation to EU anti-corruption initiatives, international development and the arms trade.

Book Synopsis Extraterritoriality and International Bribery by : Branislav Hock
Download or read book Extraterritoriality and International Bribery written by Branislav Hock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents a collective action perspective to explain how extraterritoriality functions and assess when, and to what extent, extraterritoriality is effective. A collective action perspective provides a new account of foreign anti-bribery laws and their extraterritorial enforcement that draws on theories discussed in the field of economic governance. Within this framework, the book offers an intensive analysis of US foreign anti-bribery law such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), international law as it emanates from the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, and comparative insights into UK law and German law. To test the theory in practice, the book provides a unique data set of more than 40 foreign anti-bribery enforcement actions conducted by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and other examples from comparative jurisdictions. Extraterritoriality and International Bribery is ideal reading for academics and students with an interest in global governance, economic crime, criminology, and law and economics, as well as practitioners concerned with foreign anti-bribery enforcement, including compliance officers, lawyers, investigating and prosecuting authorities, and business leaders. The book also discusses governance alternatives existing outside international anti-bribery law and offers policy and legal reforms proposals. The book suggests a decentralized enforcement model with the delegation of some enforcement tasks to an external body as the most appropriate governance alternative.

Book Synopsis The OECD Convention on Bribery by : Mark Pieth
Download or read book The OECD Convention on Bribery written by Mark Pieth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 980 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The OECD Convention on Bribery established an international standard for compliance with anti-corruption rules, and has subsequently been adopted by the thirty-four OECD members and six non-member countries. As a result of the Convention and national implementation laws, companies and managers now risk tough sanctions if they are caught bribing foreign officials. The UK Bribery Act 2010 is only one example of this development. The second edition of this, the only commentary on the Convention, provides law practitioners, company lawyers and academic researchers with comprehensive guidance on the OECD standards. It includes case examples as well as the FCPA Resource Guide 2012 and the 2009 OECD Recommendation for Further Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials with Annexes I and II.

Book Synopsis The Institutional Economics of Corruption and Reform by : Johann Graf Lambsdorff
Download or read book The Institutional Economics of Corruption and Reform written by Johann Graf Lambsdorff and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-08 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corruption has been a feature of public institutions for centuries yet only relatively recently has it been made the subject of sustained scientific analysis. Lambsdorff shows how insights from institutional economics can be used to develop a better understanding of why corruption occurs and the best policies to combat it. He argues that rather than being deterred by penalties, corrupt actors are more influenced by other factors such as the opportunism of their criminal counterparts and the danger of acquiring an unreliable reputation. This suggests a novel strategy for fighting corruption similar to the invisible hand that governs competitive markets. This strategy - the 'invisible foot' - shows that the unreliability of corrupt counterparts induces honesty and good governance even in the absence of good intentions. Combining theoretical research with state-of-the-art empirical investigations, this book will be an invaluable resource for researchers and policy-makers concerned with anti-corruption reform.

Download or read book From Baksheesh to Bribery written by T. Markus Funk and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide, governmental anti-corruption efforts have been ramping up like never before. From the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") to the U.K. Bribery Act and recent Chinese, French, Indonesian, Brazilian, and German anti-bribery legislations, the compliance world has witnessed the fight against corruption rocketing to the top of most law reform and enforcement agendas. As the fight against corruption goes global, practitioners of the compliance, regulatory, and investigative space must understandand--and more importantly navigate--these increasingly complicated and often perilous compliance waters. With that heavy reality in mind, this first-of-its-kind book draws on the real-world experience and expertise possessed by some of the world's leading anti-corruption and anti-bribery practitioners to make meeting that challenge easier. Featuring country-specific chapters and practitioner-focused "how to" modules, From Baksheesh to Bribery serves as a one-stop shop for practitioners, in-house counsel, compliance personnel, academics, and others who want--and often need--to understand the world's perspective on corruption and the fight against it.
