Описание:

Ever since the rise of corporations as a business entity, the extent to which they can be liable for their actions as a legal person has been widely debated. Over the past two decades, various incidents of corporate manslaughter have highlighted the special problem of work-related deaths and corporate liability.Recently, the British discussion on corporate manslaughter has been renewed, when the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 was finally given royal assent creating the criminal offence of corporate manslaughter. The author Lucas M. Ullrich gives an introduction to the legal history of corporate manslaughter in the UK and to the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007. Subsequently, he compares the British solution with the German approach to corporate manslaughter. This book is addressed to students of business administration or business law and to professionals interested in the criminal liability of corporations.
