This book provides an analysis of key contemporary issues on the theme of fraud and risk in commercial law, including: technology and fraud, secondary liability and ‘failure to prevent’ economic crime, abuse of business entities, insolvency and creditor protection, injunctions and other orders, cross-border issues, the relationship between regulation and private law, and the solutions policy makers can use—for instance, mandatory as opposed to disclosure rules, or rules as opposed to standards. With contributions by leading experts, this book is essential reading for both academics and practitioners across the common law world.
