Email The U.K. Ministry of Justice announced in July that the recently enacted Bribery Act of 2010 would not become effective until April 2011, in order to allow time for a “short consultation exercise” during which public comments could be provided regarding draft guidance “about procedures which commercial organisations can put in place to prevent bribery on their behalf.”1 This consultation exercise began on September 14 and will continue until November 8, 2010. The eventual guidance will be significant, as section 7 of the Act punishes not only bribery itself, but also the failure of companies to prevent bribery. This new provision would apply if a company fails to prevent the payment of a bribe by one of its employees or agents in connection with the company’s business. https://www.cadwalader.com/resources/newsletters/fcpa-advisor/uk-ministry-of-justice-releases-guidance-on-bribery-act
