Clyde & Co’s Post

The Hawarden v ENS judgment in the High Court in 2023 is probably South Africa's best-known Business Email Compromise case. It had a seismic effect on how business is done via electronic channels - for some sectors, this upturned everyday business conventions such as sending invoices by email. Clyde & Co is delighted to have represented ENS in the successful appeal of the matter in the SCA, which has walked back some of the far-reaching effects of the original decision based on the application of well-established principles of delict. The case is ultimately headed for the Constitutional Court, so watch this space! #BEC #CyberRisk #ClydeOne #Cybercrime

Fantastic outcome! This judgment provides much-needed clarity on delictual liability in the face of growing BEC fraud risks. Well done to the Clyde & Co team for their expert representation. This is a significant win for businesses and a testament to our firm's expertise in navigating complex legal issues. Let's continue to stay vigilant and proactive in combating BEC fraud! #BECfraud #delictualliability #legalclarity"

Another crucial element of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA) takes effect, involving the expansion of the Serious Fraud Office's section 2A 'pre-investigation' authority. This legislation marks a notable achievement in combatting economic crime while striving to improve corporate transparency. In this article, we will examine the ramifications of the ECCTA on the Serious Fraud Office (UK), delving into the broadened scope of SFO's authority and its influence on the investigative procedures.

SFO makes progress in evidence disclosure reform The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has made progress in reforming its evidence disclosure regime, but a report by the HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) highlights the need for more government funding to address the problems. The report states that disclosure alone accounts for 25% of the SFO's operational budget and 40% of its staff capacity. While the SFO has taken action to improve its disclosure regime, the report emphasises the importance of long-term funding to support the agency in fulfilling its disclosure obligations. City lawyers and anti-corruption campaigners also stress the need for increased resources. The report's findings underscore the wider issue of disclosure in the justice system, particularly in complex economic crime cases. The SFO welcomes the report and aims to implement its findings alongside its new five-year strategy.

Hi Crooks, As I mentioned before that you are not belong in this platform. I know you delete my articles everyday and as you know there is law for your actions as vandalism: Vandalism and crimes against public order and public authorities are defined in Articles 131 to 136, 137c to 137g, 138 to 151a, 157, 158, 177 to 182, 184 to 206, 350 to 352 of the Dutch Criminal Code. These are crimes against public order, including instigation, unlawful entry, computer intrusion, local breaches of the peace, participation in a criminal or terrorist organisation, violence and blasphemy. These are also crimes such as discrimination, arson and vandalism. False declarations, human trafficking and bribery of civil servants – all crimes against public authorities – are also included in this category. This concerns persons who have been registered in the National Law Enforcement Database (BVH) of the Dutch police. Persons who have not been registered in the Persons Database (BRP) will be included in the absolute number of suspects, but not in the relative numbers. A person who has been registered more than once during a reporting year, will only be counted once in the total number of suspects. In addition, for each offence they will be counted once in the main crime group.
