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 Corporate Bodies and Guilty Minds written by William S. Laufer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an era defined by corporate greed and malfeasance—one in which unprecedented accounting frauds and failures of compliance run rampant. In order to calm investor fears, revive perceptions of legitimacy in markets, and demonstrate the resolve of state and federal regulators, a host of reforms, high-profile investigations, and symbolic prosecutions have been conducted in response. But are they enough? In this timely work, William S. Laufer argues that even with recent legal reforms, corporate criminal law continues to be ineffective. As evidence, Laufer considers the failure of courts and legislatures to fashion liability rules that fairly attribute blame for organizations. He analyzes the games that corporations play to deflect criminal responsibility. And he also demonstrates how the exchange of cooperation for prosecutorial leniency and amnesty belies true law enforcement. But none of these factors, according to Laufer, trumps the fact that there is no single constituency or interest group that strongly and consistently advocates the importance and priority of corporate criminal liability. In the absence of a new standard of corporate liability, the power of regulators to keep corporate abuses in check will remain insufficient. A necessary corrective to our current climate of graft and greed, Corporate Bodies and Guilty Minds will be essential to policymakers and legal minds alike. “[This] timely work offers a dispassionate analysis of problems relating to corporate crime.”—Harvard Law Review

Book excerpt: Corporations are an integral part of any society. As corporations become significant players in economic development, many people risk getting victimized by their activities. Under the early common law, corporations were not indictable for any kind of crime. Corporations appeared as an artificial legal person, which signified the absence of mens rea. Therefore, they could not be held liable for criminal activities or get imprisoned. However, the new laws state that corporations can be charged for violation of statutory laws. Corporate criminal liability is a crime which is committed by a group of people for the benefit of a corporation. The paper explores the concept of corporate criminal liability in India. It provides the extent to which a corporation, as a legal entity, is responsible for the deeds of its workers. For instance, when employees commit crimes like false claims, they make statements that are not truthful to the customer. In such instances, the company will be held liable for the damaging information provided by its workers. Criminal liability is administered under the doctrine of vicarious liability, making it distinctive from statutory offences that make a corporation liable for specific offences. The main question that arises concerning corporate liability is whether corporate can commit crimes and whether they are criminally responsible for specific criminal acts. The study looks into the recent researches into corporate criminal liability to understand instances when companies are held accountable for their activities. Also, it provides corporate punishment that is related to criminal liability. The concept of criminal liability in India has continued to gain importance over the past few years more in the social spheres. Today, corporate criminal liability deals with safety norms, environmental laws, consumer protection, and occupational health. Also, it deals with companies' corporate governance policies to determine whether or not an organisation adheres to corporate laws. The paper examines the confines of corporate criminal liability in India, along with the recommendations to be integrated into the country's legislation. Besides, the study provides an in-depth analysis of landmark cases in India that utilised the model of criminal liability.
