Laundering and Tracing

by Peter Birks (Editor)

Overview

The legal difficulties arising out of the growing number of "money-laundering" cases reaching the courts are the subject of a burgeoning literature. Certainly there is much debate among practitioners, judges, and academics as to what the civil courts can do to assist plaintiffs seeking to recover funds in the UK and overseas. This collection of essays, the first on the subject, throws important fresh light on the solutions offered by the common law and equity, and considers the judicial reasoning in recent landmark cases.
