Many commentators have questioned whether the law relating to corporate criminal liability is still fit for purpose or whether it is due a significant overhaul. The Law Commission has been asked by the Ministry of Justice, Home Office, Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy, HM Treasury and the Attorney General's Office, to consult on how the law of corporate criminal liability functions and how, if at all, it should change.
The Law Commission is inviting anyone with an interest in this area to make their voice heard by 31 August 2021 at Corporate criminal liability Consultation.
With the potential for significant change on the horizon, we are joined by David Allan, a criminal law reform lawyer with the Law Commission who is working on the corporate criminal liability project, to discuss how the law currently operates and some of the suggested changes to corporate criminal liability that have been put forward.
