The Fraud Act

Rachel Burnett

Correspondence: solicitor, Burnett IT Legal Services. rb{at}burnett.uk.net


  Abstract

As IT evolves the law adapts, and sometimes it even gets simplified. Changes in the law of fraud have come into effect early this year, with the Fraud Act 2006, applying in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This Act introduces a general offence of fraud, together with other fraud offences. It has been designed to ensure that technology-related crime will be covered, such as phishing and spoofing.
