The Bribery Act 2010 Ch.23
This Act applies to all of the UK and although the Act was made in 2010 it does not come into operation until 1st July 2011. The Act is not directly related to employment law however, Section 7 creates a new offence for organisations that fail to prevent persons associated with them from engaging in bribery on their behalf. Thus the issue of vicarious liability arises for organisations in terms of whether or not they can establish if they had adequate procedures in place to prevent bribery.
