Given the prevalence of corporate crime today, this area of law is no longer within the domain of just specialized litigators, but all corporate lawyers. In this well-researched text, all four areas of corporate crime are covered in one place: offences pertaining to competition law, securities regulation, commercial fraud, and bribery and corruption. While most other law textbooks discuss commercial crime (crimes committed by individuals in business dealings), this book explores crimes committed by the corporation, a subject area that is difficult, if not impossible, to find in Canadian law books.
