General Editors

Prosecuting and Defending Fraud Cases, Second Edition prepares readers to properly

litigate fraud cases, examining both prosecutorial and defence perspectives. Guiding

readers step by step through the process of a fraud case, this practical resource weaves

strategic information with case law analysis and relevant provisions of the Criminal Code.

This edition features up-to-date legislation, additional content, updated charts, and a new

chapter on cyber fraud in Canada.

What I particularly like about the text is its avoidance of unnecessary legalese. Advice

is imparted in clear, unambiguous, and user-friendly language. It alerts the reader

to pitfalls to be avoided and points the way to creative advocacy at trial and on

sentencing.”
