The Law Commission for England and Wales has today published its final report Reforming Bribery. Major reform is proposed. Amongst the proposals is one for the introduction of a new corporate offence: negligently failing to prevent bribery by an employee or agent. There is a defence to this crime: having in place adequate systems to prevent bribery. The Government has welcomed the Commission's report and has stated that a draft Bill will be brought forward in the next session of Parliament. For further information see:
