Written by Shelley Horan

This brand-new title provides a comprehensive treatise on all the issues that may arise in the context of the prosecution and sentencing of corporate crime. These issues are particularily prevalent in light of the recent recession in Ireland which has unearthed a great number of unhealthy and potentially criminal practices, particularily in the banking and financial sector of the Irish economy. Matters such as corporate, criminal and individual liability, the confiscation of the proceeds of corporate crime, money laundering, the disqualification of corporate officers and the constitutional rights of companies are given detailed consideration.

The broad range of offences that may be charged against corporations and their officers are considered, including those arising under the Competition Act 2002, the market abuse code, the Companies Acts 1963-2009, the Safety, Health and Welfare Act 2005, the Consumer Protection Act 2007, the Taxes Consolifation Act and under the legislation and common law codes pertaining to bribery and corruption and corporate fraud.




Includes the following legislation:

• Finance Act 2010
• Companies (amendment) Act 2009
• Proposed Companies Consolidation and Reform Bill
• Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Bill 2009
• Whistleblowers Protection Bill 2010
• Corporate Manslaughter Bill 2007
