Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 - to disclose or not?, David Burrows. Legal Action May 2004, p22. "Lawyers are faced with the real possibility of having to breach client confidentiality and act as government narcs [informants] if some commentators, including the Law Society and prominent members of the Solicitors Family Law Association, are to be believed." This article outlines when lawyers must, under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, disclose their clients' financial activities concerning suspected or actual money laundering to the National Criminal Intelligence Service.
