Abstract
Ever since corporations have emerged as major economic and social actors in our society, courts have been faced with a peculiar problem - that of subjecting them to the criminal law of the land. While corporations have regulated their own activities, their legal liability in criminal law was still debatable and over the years, a rich jurisprudence of corporate criminal liability has evolved. This article seeks to trace the sequence of events that led to the passage of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act, 2007. It further seeks to examine the provisions of the Act as regards the new offence of 'Corporate Manslaughter' and the promise it holds for the future of corporate criminal liability in England.
