Abstract
The headlines are full of stories about the latest corporate crook being sent to jail in the USA, in Europe, Asia or in Australia. There is often a degree of fraud involved and the amounts of money that have been personally gained and the massive losses the shareholders and creditors have suffered are overwhelming. What is little understood is the split between criminal and civil actions against corporate officers and, in particular, directors.
