Review
`The second edition is now able to comment more thoroughly and with conviction on the reception and operation of the Act, in particular its growing precedent and procedural application. The guide has both summary and detailed contents, clear signposting and an easy-to-reference index. While aimed at the practioner, this book provides any interested reader with a thoughtful commentary and guide to this behemoth change in the law.' New Law Journal

This review is from: Blackstone's Guide to the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Paperback)
TO THE PROCEEDS OF CRIME ACT 2002, INCUDING A COPY OF THE ACT An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers If you're a practitioner involved in any way in issues relating to the proceeds of crime, this latest Blackstone's Guide from the OUP is the cost effective way update yourself on the scope, effects and extent of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. The Guide contains a copy of the Act, which in the considered opinion of the authors, does contain `obscurantist statutory language and revolutionary concepts...sometimes difficult to understand.' `It may not be possible to go round the Act,' they add somewhat ruefully, (but) `it is hoped that the Guide will at least provide a clear and practical route map through it.' And indeed a route map is exactly what this exemplary guide provides. Very much in the tradition of the Blackstone's Guide Series, the authors, with the assistance of the OUP, cover the latest developments and amendments to the POCA since it came into force in February 2003. Not only is it ideal for the `embattled practitioner,' it is also a clear, concise introduction to those who are new to this complex area of law, as well as those who, in the words of the authors, must `confront the Act head on in their daily professional lives. If you find yourself in any of these categories, you need this book. Confronting the POCA `head on' is not exactly an undaunting task. Its influence and scope are immense, covering everything from stolen cash to money laundering, criminal confiscation and restraint proceedings and the compliance procedures of large companies, as well as, for example, civil recovery of the proceeds of unlawful conduct. Thankfully, the Guide is easy to use. Each of the logically laid out chapters begins with an overview and a detailed twenty-three page index provides quick access to the information you want. The four appendices include: the POCA as amended...the Criminal Procedure Rules 2010 (Parts 56-62 and 71-73)...The Money Laundering Regulations 2007 as amended...and the Practice Direction -- Civil Recovery Proceedings. There are extensive tables of cases and legislation to aid further research. Within its more than 550 pages, this convenient Guide provides all you need in one compact resource. The law is stated, as the expert authors believe it to be, at 11th March 2011.
