Deferred prosecution agreements: understanding the context

Resource type: Article

Status: Published on 26-Jul-2012

Jurisdiction: United Kingdom

The Ministry of Justice’s consultation paper on deferred prosecution agreements is important, as DPAs could significantly change the current approach to the self-reporting of economic crimes. The new proposals seek to replicate the benefits of the US system, with the threat of stringent penalties balanced against self-reporting and a more constructive DPA.
