An introduction to AML, CTF and counter-proliferation financing—a guide for staff col style="width: 50%;"> What is money laundering?

Typically money laundering involves three stages; placement, layering and integration.Placement—the process of placing criminal property into the financial system. This might be done by breaking up large sums of cash into smaller amounts or by using a series of financial instruments (such as cheques or money orders), which are deposited at different locations.Layering—the process of moving money that has been placed in the financial system in order to obscure its criminal origin.

Does an allotment of shares in a company to the company's director require member approval under the substantial property transactions regime?

Does an allotment of shares in a company to the company's director require member approval under the substantial property transactions regime? In the context of this Q&A, the company is a private company limited by shares and that the company will not be allotting shares at a discount (in accordance with section 580(1) of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006)). Furthermore, the company’s articles of association (and other constitutional documents) do not contain any provisions requiring member approval in relation to an allotment of shares to the directors. Subject to certain exceptions, member approval is required for substantial property transactions between a company and its directors as these transactions are particularly open to abuse. Under CA 2006, s 190, an arrangement must be approved by a resolution of the members of the company, or be conditional on such approval being obtained, where: • a company acquires (or is to acquire) a substantial non-cash asset from a director of that company (or that company’s holding company) or a person...

Where a claimant is seeking to add a defendant(s) does the application notice for permission to add them need to be served on the proposed new defendants?

Where a claimant is seeking to add a defendant(s) does the application notice for permission to add them need to be served on the proposed new defendants? As a preliminary point, we are not dealing here with the situation where a claim form has been filed but not yet served. In this situation, CPR 17.1(1) provides that the claimant may amend the claim form to add a new defendant without either the permission of the court or the consent of any other parties. No question of an application notice therefore arises, although the amended claim form (appropriately endorsed as required by CPR PD 17, para 2.1(2)) must obviously be filed and served on the new defendant if it is to be effective. Note that an amendment made without permission can be disallowed under CPR 17.2. The position is different where the claim form has already been served on the original defendant. In this case CPR 17.1(3) expressly provides that an application to amend must be made...
