Reviews
* '"This fantastic new looseleaf is the best work on fraud which I have ever seen. It contains everything a practitioner or judge will ever need to know about fraud. Edited by Clare Montgomery QC and Professor David Ormerod, and written by 'insiders' from all the main governmental agencies, together with leading defence and prosecution practitioners, the work provides a unique insight into and perspective on, all aspects of fraud law and procedure. It is written in a very clear style, with superb coverage of case management and trial procedure, and includes all vital legislative materials in the Precedents and Appendices. Though extremely comprehensive it is also portable and easy to transport - ideal for use in court, and I shall be recommending it as essential reading on all my JSB courses."' - HHJ Durham-Hall QC
* '"Lawyers and judges working in the field of fraud cover a number overlapping areas of practice due to the vast array and increasingly international nature of the conduct which constitutes "fraud". It is, therefore, high time for an authoritative and accessible work on the subject. This excellent work fills that gap and will, I predict, prove to be the first source of reference for fraud practitioners, whatever the case."' - Ian R Burton, Burton & Copeland Solicitors
* 'This outstanding looseleaf, put together by a stellar cast of editors and contributors, will doubtless be found on the shelf of every serious practitioner in this field. It is comprehensive, practical and erudite. I commend it without hesitation."' - Director of Public Prosecutions
* '"No fraud practitioner can afford to be without this looseleaf: Montgomery and Ormerod have assembled a hugely impressive array of academic and practitioner talent to produce a tome which, from the chapters I have reviewed, is learned, impressive and very readable. I shall buy it: I hope that my opponents do not."' - Edmund Lawson QC, Cloth Fair Chambers

This definitive new work provides a comprehensive analysis of the investigation and prosecution of fraud offences in England and Wales. The discussion involves a critical analysis of the law, by reference to the policies, principles and practicalities of the criminal investigation and trial. The looseleaf covers the investigative, pre-trial, procedural and substantive law issues relating to fraud offences, as well as coverage of related topics such as corruption and money-laundering. Thirty specially commissioned chapters from acknowledged experts in the field are combined with all relevant materials to provide authoritative legal text and practical guidance in one volume. The practical and academic expertise of the Editors offers a unique combination not found in the existing works on fraud and related offences. As fraud law and procedure changes so rapidly, this work is published in loose-leaf format with regular updates (one in the first year, two thereafter) to provide the most comprehensive, analytical, and up-to-date fraud service available.
