In the current age, crime—specifically fraud—has become increasingly common, organized, and complex. The increase in white-collar offences has changed the way society tackles fraud, from police services across Canada developing specialized units for fraud investigation to regulatory bodies pursuing severe disciplinary measures.

Guiding readers step by step through the litigation of a fraud case, this practical resource expertly weaves strategic information with case law analysis and relevant provisions of the Criminal Code.
This edition features up-to-date legislative references and new chapters on major fraud trials and money laundering, alongside significant updates to chapters on admissibility, criminal organization fraud, forfeiture, and sentencing. This trusted guide is designed to assist Crown attorneys, defence counsel, and trial judges in understanding the principles of fraud.
