Is justice deferred, justice denied? Not necessarily

Ryder, Nicholas; Palmer, Axel

Abstract

At long last, the Serious Fraud Office has received a major boost in its prosecution of bribery. Serious Fraud Office v Standard Bank PLC is a landmark case because it is not only the first case where the SFO has looked to prosecute a commercial organisation for failure to prevent bribery under Bribery Act 2010, but the first occasion where it has sought to enter a Deferred Prosecution Agreement under Crime and Courts Act 2013.
