Insider dealing is rarely out of the news for long these days. At regular intervals, there are Press reports of unusual price movements or trading in the shares of companies which may or may not be doing well or be keen to acquire other companies or to avoid being taken over themselves. It is usually said that the matter is being investigated 'by the authorities' and that may be the last of it that is heard. But what happens and who may be involved? This book attempts to answer those and other related questions. Concentrating of the restatement of insider dealing law contained in the Criminal Justice Act 1993, it outlines the overall law and practice governing the regulation of the criminal office of insider dealing and of certain other 'securities' market offences in the UK. It places the relevant legislation into the context of securities law as a whole. The historical background is explained as is the way in which 'securities' business is effected in the 'City' and how it is presently regulated. It is therefore hoped that this book may be of use to legal and compliance practitioners, to regulators and also to those otherwise studying or teaching 'securities' law, whether at university or college or in respect of a relevant professional or securities industry examination.
