United Kingdom Bribery Act 2010 - What does it mean for New Zealand Businesses

by Press Release on 2010-11-05

The Ministry of Justice is keen to raise awareness among New Zealand business of the implications of the upcoming Anti-bribery legislation in the United Kingdom.

The legislation takes effect in the United Kingdom from April 2011 and has significant implications for New Zealand businesses operating overseas – companies and individuals are potentially liable under UK law even when not doing business there.

The Bribery Act 2010 is the British Government’s response to calls from the international community for a stronger international stand against corruption. For more information visit the Ministry of Justice website.
