Welcome to the April 2016 highlights from the Lexis®PSL Corporate Crime team. This month’s highlights include consideration of the consultation on the new corporate offence of failure to prevent the criminal facilitation of tax evasion, a look at the newly formed Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation and a reminder of the increase to the victim surcharge. In recent news, we review the OECD’s Anti-Bribery Convention, the SFO’s position on compliance and the challenges of claiming costs against prosecutors on acquittal. Key cases on the approach the Employment Tribunal should take when considering appeals against health and safety prohibition notices, how fair trial protections could be extended to account for communications on social media and the validity of search warrants are brought to your attention.
