THE APPROACH OF UK ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES RE MONEY LAUNDERING RISKS WHERE THERE IS POTENTIAL FORCED LABOUR/MODERN SLAVERY IN A SUPPLY CHAIN

On 22 February, an article from Allen & Overy comments on a recent court case which it says will be of interest to companies that have identified such risks in their supply chains, when determining the potential regulatory consequences that flow from them.  It says that the case provides a unique insight into the authorities’ current thinking (with which the court agreed) on the applicability of POCA to goods moving through a global supply chain, and is the first case to look at the defence of ‘adequate consideration’ in the context of modern slavery and how it might be assessed.
