Book excerpt: This thesis aims at examining the legal framework for corporate criminal liability in Nigeria. In order to achieve the aims of this thesis, the thesis analyses relevant Nigerian legislation and case law. The thesis also analyses legislation and case law from United Kingdom and Australia not for comparison purposes but to draw lessons for Nigeria. United Kingdom and Australia were examined because they are commonwealth countries like Nigeria and thus, share similar circumstances. The thesis gives a historical background of the concept of corporate personality which is the basis of corporate criminal liability. The thesis also analyses corporate criminal liability in respect of strict liability regulatory offences and offences that requires the proof of mens rea. Based on this premise, the offences of bribery and corruption, occupational safety and corporate homicide were examined respectively. The thesis finds that the legal framework for corporate criminal liability in Nigeria is inadequate. In particular, there is an absence of a liability theory for determining the corporate mens rea. Relevant Nigerian legislation and case law do not recognise that a corporation can have a mens rea. The thesis also finds that the Nigerian criminal and corporate laws have not developed sanctions that are tailored for the corporate offender. Thus, there is a lack of adequate corporate sanctions. In addition, the thesis also analyses the challenges of corporate crime control in Nigeria and finds that there are financial and political challenges to corporate crime control in Nigeria. Also, the thesis examined the Islamic law perspective to corporate criminal liability and finds that corporate criminal liability can be accommodated under the Islamic law. As a result of these findings, the thesis recommends legislative, political and constitutional amendments which if adopted will improve the legal framework for corporate criminal liablilty in Nigeria.

Download or read book Criminal Liability of Political Decision Makers written by Frank Zimmermann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to a fundamental conflict in modern states: those persons holding public office are no more than ordinary citizens. Therefore, their activities must – as a matter of principle – be subject to full judicial control. But at the same time, democratically legitimated politicians need some discretion in their decision-making. Allegations of politicians committing criminal offences in office quickly attract a great deal of media attention. Even politicians themselves frequently use such allegations to discredit their political opponents. However, to date this topic has not been fully addressed on an academic level. This book is a first step in this direction. The individual contributions cover topics such as: “bad” political decisions that result in a waste of taxpayers’ money corruption and conflicts of interest in political decision-making immunities and procedural obstacles to the effective prosecution of politicians abuse of criminal law and criminal proceedings in the political arena criminal liability for decisions taken in situations of state emergency the role of criminal law in public opinion. Leading experts examine these and other issues from a comparative perspective.

Book excerpt: With industrialization and globalization, corporations acquired the capacity to influence social life for good or for ill. Yet, corporations are not traditional objects of criminal law. Justified by notions of personal moral guilt, criminal norms have been judged inapplicable to fictional persons, who ‘think’ and ‘act’ through human beings. The expansion of new corporate criminal liability (CCL) laws since the mid-1990s challenges this assumption. Our volume surveys current practice on CCL in 15 civil and common law jurisdictions, exploring the legal conditions for liability, the principles and options for sanctioning, and the procedures for investigating, charging and trying corporate offenders. It considers whether municipal CCL laws are converging around the notion of ‘corporate culture’, and, in any case, the implications of CCL for those charged with keeping corporations, and other legal entities, out of trouble.
