Proving corruption: constitutional and evidential issues in civil and administrative proceedings

John Hatchard ()

Chapter 13 in Proving Corruption and Defending the Corrupt, 2025, pp 264-290 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Corruption-related issues arising in civil and administrative proceedings demand their own chapter as they provide additional ways of proving corruption. Whilst constitutional and evidential issues arise, the fact that these do not involve issues relating to personal liberty reduces the importance of ‘defending the corrupt’. The sections in the chapter address proving corruption in cases involving civil and commercial litigation; the burden and standard of proof in election petitions where corruption-related issues are alleged; evidential issues relating to asset forfeiture; and the constitutional and evidential issues arising in a range of administrative proceedings, including arbitrations and commissions of enquiry.
