Montgomery and Ormerod on Fraud: Criminal Law and Procedure

This definitive new work provides a comprehensive analysis of the investigation and prosecution of fraud offences in England and Wales.

The discussion involves a critical analysis of the law, by reference to the policies, principles and practicalities of the criminal investigation and trial. It covers the investigative, pre-trial, procedural and substantive law issues relating to fraud offences, as well as coverage of related topics such as corruption and money-laundering.

Montgomery and Ormerod on Fraud was previously published in a looseleaf format, with the last release issued in 2019. It is now edited into hardback and online formats with updated content that covers all recent developments in the investigation and prosecution of fraud, including the extension of corporate criminal liability, the development of failure to prevent offences and the expansion of this model of criminalization in the financial sector, the increasing range of inchoate offences, the development of DPAs, and the common law developments in interpretation of the Fraud Act and the concept of dishonesty.

Practitioners will welcome the thoroughly updated content and the increased accessibility offered by the new book formats.
