Failure to prevent fraud
The new UK failure to prevent fraud offence is a game-changing offence. It makes it much easier to prosecute UK and non-UK companies for fraud, and will have a similar impact to the UK Bribery Act (which has resulted in multiple large deferred prosecution agreements under the ”failure to prevent bribery” offence). The UK government has said that it expects the “offence will encourage more companies to implement or improve prevention procedures, driving a major shift in corporate culture to help reduce fraud”.
Let us know if you would like help with understanding the new offence, how it might apply to your organisation or how to approach risk assessments, programme enhancement and training.

Court's permission required for arbitration against bankruptcy trustee regarding post-bankruptcy agreement (Singapore High Court)
In Kardachi, Jason Aleksander (as private trustee in bankruptcy of Rajesh Bothra) and another v Deepak Mishra and others [2025] SGHC 218, the Singapore High Court confirmed that leave of court is required to commence arbitration proceedings against bankruptcy trustees regarding a dispute arising out of a post-bankruptcy agreement concluded by the trustees. While permission can be granted retrospectively, the court declined to give it in this case, finding no prima facie arguable case that the trustees had breached the post-bankruptcy agreement in commencing a clawback action against the defendants.
