Description

Bribery and corruption occur throughout business, and increasingly lead to parallel criminal, arbitral and civil proceedings. The proof of corruption in these three types of proceedings is subject to different rules and practices. In particular, privilege, right against self-incrimination, admissibility of evidence and publicity apply differently. The Criminal Law Section's interactive and ever-popular mock trial will explore how evidentiary issues are managed in criminal, arbitral and civil asset recovery proceedings by having the same persons examined by an Italian criminal court, an International Centre for Settlement of Investments Disputes (ICSID) arbitral tribunal and the English High Court on the same set of facts.
