At the SCLF’s evening event on 11 June, Simon Williams of the Office of Fair Trading outlined the new Memorandum of Understanding between the OFT and the Crown Office, which provides greater certainty about the treatment of leniency applications in relation to cartels with a Scottish dimension. The SCLF will be holding an “SCLF lite” session on the subject of the respective functions of the Crown Office and the OFT, and the operation of the MoU, in Edinburgh on Thursday 12 November, at 17:00.
We have secured participation from Katie Stewart, Head of the National Casework Division of the Crown Office, and Stephen Blake, Director of Cartels and Criminal Enforcement at the OFT, for what promises to be a fascinating round table discussion. Dundas & Wilson CS LLP will kindly be providing us with a venue for this event.
If you are interested in participating in the event please email Brigitte Buice at brigitte.buice@shepwedd.co.uk who can provide more information. Please note that, due to the more intimate nature of our ‘lite’ events, places are limited for this event.
